v2.97.6 160 c3 is best of 2.97.6x

need more testing on 2.97.7

lekt wrote: v2.97.7xx replaced all xor 1 with or 1 in case number is multiple of 2. more vibration but stage size lesser, think more correct. only sound rises up lesser than.
prefer mb, good vocal.

prefer mb too.

more vibration/quantity here!
think drum vibration/weight needs more free less tense like 2.90.7
almost beat 2.90.7

tried, can't install, not compatible with my system. tried 13.2.0.1058 RAID from intel.com, also non-compatiple. could you show me download link of .1016. my HD: sata 500GB.
installed flash bios, updated RST 12.8.0.1016 series 7. new sound colour, seems better, more stable.

recompiled in new system environment: uploaded v2.97.7 160 c2
think better than mb. musical note correct as v2.97.6, live sound.

intel OR vs XOR ?? what do you think? by classical theory, most easy are:
--------/ --------
--------__-------- no OR yes = yes (parallel connection)

--------/ --------__--------- no AND yes = no (serial connection)
as ussualy electrical connection methods in our life.

but XOR: 2 different values => yes, 2 same values => no. more difficult connection.
not sure, i think OR, AND must be better.

<= 12.8.2.1000 sound is thin
> 12.8.2.1000 sound is rich

try a new driver
intel driver is goood

think OR, AND are more simple.
OR, AND statistically most commonly used. i guess CPU is optimized for OR AND... i don't know...

which version is OR, and which version is XOR?! pls remind me
i will test by ears

better better! another step up with 2.97.7 c2...
balance is really good now... starting to enjoy 2.97x

when singer sings loudly, i cannot feel enough power...
more bass more weight pls!!

----
slow vocal seems getting much better

2.97.6 160 c3 sounds amazing... money, piano, vocal, drum, trumpet, thunder, bells, walking ....

here.. all music notes with medium-low volume play extremely well
when note volume = high/heavy, struggles.
i cannot tell if my setup sucks, or software not enough... need more testing


this album is very difficult... all software sound different. difficult to compare

---tested with
mqn2.71 v2... sounds like all foods on the table.. eat eat eat... i actually like this style
xa1080a... there is always one single focus. instrument with less volume = less important. seems unnatural stage
2.97.6 c3... i can feel the environment. instruments have interaction. stage has layers. elegant style
mqn2.2/mqn2.82... 50% focus 50% instruments interaction. simple stage.
2.4.3 is like 2.97.6 v2 without the layers

----listen more...
2.97.6 c3 feels like i am there
it is like walking on the street, birds, cars, people all things making sound. sound focus is there also

----now listen to 2.97.7 c2
2.97.7 c2 bass notes has priority/focus over other instruments
prefer style of 2.97.6 c3

yes, v2.97.6 c3 vibration not much but very correct sound stage, that's it can correct present many music kind, not shadow, true sound.

uploaded:
v2.97.7 160 XOR
v2.97.7 160 OR

improved vibration. you can compare XOR with OR.

v2.96xx, v2.97xx are large file size, didn't use loop counter. large file always not stable.
found out method for counter 20 iterations of loop by shift operator, very interesting. think next version will be small file size, use counter for loop, stability sound.

------edit---
v2.97.6 c3 maybe is best now, very good sound, seems all things correct.

forgot to say i was testing v2.97.6 c3 with Pink Floyd 46001

XOR seems more vibration but glitches. maybe false-positive vibration
OR has tighter sound. clean. seems true, coz cannot detect liquid



------------------
lol... 1 year, listening to jitter... didn't see
try "intel HD Graphic Control Panel" -> "Video" -> "Video..." "Image Enhancement"

-> "basic"
disable all enhancements!
-> "advanced"
disable all enhancements!

vibration more. texture quality improve. all things better... for 1 year i didn't see this

after this...

2.90.9 > 2.90.7... vibration explodes! 2.90.7 only dynamic better.
here best bass is 2.90.9 and 2.97.7 c2
