v80/v95/v9 trying different amounts of data to copy each loop, in theory this might be optimal. Better balance anyway.

uploaded v81/v96/v13 think this gives the best sq, has been interesting playing about with these. Seems the instructions used, size of loop etc affects the data stored in the wav file in some way, something that's not addressed by any commercial product that I know of.

uploaded mqnplay v220, it has a sample size of 128 bytes so may not work for everyone, thought I'd try and see what the smallest I could get. It played with 2 byte sample size, but the memory shot up and the system froze.

128 bytes is 0.000725 s, ie 0.725 ms, might be of interest to daw users.
Neither v220 128bytes or v221 881bytes works here
I get sound but it is distorted
Thanks
Here likewise, both versions give a kind of 'fluttering' distorting while playing music.

it works on my cheapo headphone dac, remarkable sound quality compared with 1764 byte buffer size.

Shall try it with my other dacs, but expect it won't work. May also be a benefit of win 10.

The distortion was on my Win 10 / Mutec 1.2 computer.
Will try it later also on Win 2012 / Diverter

--------------

Update:
On Win 2012R2 / Diverter the mqnplay v220 gives distortion and the v221 plays just fine.

--------------
Update 2:
Well, not so fine. After a few minutes it spontaneously performs a reboot.

I have no sound at all with the newest 221.

With the previous versions my mqnplay doesnt stop, but raises my cpu to 25% and than I get loud pack in my speakers!
I remember reading about that a while ago, but I dont remember what was the solution?! :(

Sound is unbelievable!
There is nothing out there to come close to mqn.
Gordon, thanks for not giving up and always having "the final version"! :) :)

I love this idea of mqnrewrite!
Very practical and convenient to make a playlist!
But there is still even better if rename the song in the "OUT" folder, just to one letter or number.
The highs and details are much better.

That is something what is worth trying, or maybe include in mqn.

Hi all
I am kind of surprise that no one is commenting on the newest Mqnplayer and Mqnrewrite
I think it a milestone in computer music
Mqnplayer was always ahead of the pack but this left the "others" 100 light-years behind

Thanks Gordon
Take a look at Sima66 suggestion it actually works

Can someone just list the new files required to try it and does it play all formats or just 16/44?

Tony you must be in the wrong thread if you are asking for anything else then 16/44 ;)
