MQN

[grisaia]

tried to simplify the install

download mqn haswell.zip

extract the files to c:\musicplayer

if you use another directory change the directory in mqn.bat

@echo off

cd c:\musicplayer

Title MQn - Just good music

then double click setupmqnparam.bat and close the window manually

decide which version of mqnplay is required win 10 or w2012 r2 (also works for win 8.1)

rename the selected mqnplay.exe and mqnloader.exe and mqncontrol.exe files so the description suffix is removed

select wav files/copy to clipboard and double click mqn.bat to play the music

more details on how to play non wav files here

Do we still have to use hex editor to modify device string?

no, the above steps is all you need to do.

the device string is stored in mqnparam.txt which is created/overwritten when you run setupmqnparam.bat

Bass is too fat and out of balance to other tonal ranges and becomes too overpowering.

217/89/70 was better balanced

217/90/71 isn't so overpowering, but still prefer 217/89/70.
In 90/71 the bass becomes less distinct, loses some of the definition that is so nicely present in 89/70.

Am using Schubert Rosamunde string quartet played by Alban Berg quartet, and listen to the balance between the first / second violin and the cello. The cello has a clear role but with 218 it overpowers the first/second violin and disturbs the balance of the piece.

tried a rewrite program and managed to get a reduction in treble. Shall try and get a good version and a bad version. The bad version can be used for testing regenerators etc, if the treble is restored then the regenerator is working. If the regenerators can't restore the treble then there is some other mechanism at work that affects the sound.

+1.
217/89/70 is very fine, giving a nice sound.

building on v217, v219 is more free flowing, sounds good with jazz, anyway.
