explains why I never win lottery

haha

intel makes best driver. SQ better again
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Version 13.2.4.1000 WHQL

install driver manually, select series 9 driver
(my board is actually series 7. doesn't matter)

2.99 is like 2.90x. highest energy. texture is clearly. rock and roll style.

2.98x is another style. can play wider range of musical notes. has little bit stronger mid. vocal texture less clearly.

love them both...

----
prefer 2.98.9 op > 2.98.9 > 2.98.9 c2...


----
2.98.10 a32
2.98.9 op
a32-> dirtier, more complex vibration
op-> cleaner, more simple vibration
prefer 2.98.9 op

----
2.98.9 op vs 2.99
difficult choice...

finally got this Vladimir Horowitz - Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon (DGG 474 370-2)
1kB/s for days haha


listening Horowitz playing Polonaise...
godly skill.

at first i didn't like his noisy rough style of heavy notes. actually he intended that way... like solider matching.
loving it now

2.98.1 reproduces the heavy notes extremely well... (not tested other versions yet)

"Intel Rapid Storage Technology Version 13.2.4.1000 WHQL
install driver manually, select series 9 driver"

explain me how to install this v13.xx, i can not, can only v12.xx series 7.
lekt.exe v2.99 160 have potential, its sound very correct, used RAM type, read file function as v2.90.7. need optimize code for improving vibration.

------------------------------
prefer Horowitz plays Chopin Heroic Polonaise Op. 53 in A flat major (at the White House 1978), great heroic, revolution. great finger weight technical. and Rachmaninov Piano concerto no.3 with NYPO 1978, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5mxU_7BTRA
get HD format of this concerto, JC. i think his live playing better than studio. love all things of his...

Device Manager ->
"Update Driver..." ->
"Browse my computer for driver software" ->
"Let me pick from a list of device..." ->
"Have Disk..." ->
"Browse..." ->
(in my case, go to below folder:)
e:\Downloads\intel_rst_13.2.4.1000\Drivers\x64
-> select "Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller"
-> Next
.......

IN CASE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIE SOUND,
click "Roll Back Driver" to restore back previous driver
(i use "Roll Back Driver" to a b compare SQ)

thank, will try. and show me link download if you remember.

uploaded:
v2.98.11 256 AND
v2.98.12 256 SHR

prefer v2.98.12 256 SHR used shift operator for counter, and structure block of loop a bit changed. sound much improved for all frequency ranges.
v2.98.11 256 AND softness lesser, but vocal have different emotion. not sure.

2.98.12 > 2.98.11. more refined micro

if you just drop your hand, it is always 9.8m/s/s. natural weight. free-fall

Horowitz can fake natural weight with finger weight control... godly skill

he does use arm+gravity weight, but mostly on slow heavy bass notes.

my OS better again!
now instruments have organic. have life. especially noticeable with 2.98x
instruments can dance. not stoned/still/dead.

in terms of organic:
2.98x > 2.97x > 2.99

v2.99 160 is most potential, SQ < v2.98xx but many things more correct, musical notes correct.
v2.98.12 256 SHR vibration > all others, only need reduce sound weight, a bit liquid in my case.
