Seems to me we are listening to hd/ram disk drivers which have not been written for audio.

Hey, lekt, can you build an audiophile ram disk app?

each player have own technical method for creating RAM with difference alignment, depend on its purpose how it will read this RAM space. usually use 4096 bytes/block with 1024 buffer size (1024 frames = 4096 bytes for 16 bit wav data). if use other buffer size (i.e. 320, 352,...), maybe better with other block size (alignment only with 2^n value).
RamDisk use 4096 block size for read/wright, then player have benefit if use its RAM in case player also need read with same block size. RamDisk is good for player using read file by 4096 bytes method. lekt v1.xx have benefit.

dataram seems best... softperfect is good too. cant get Bond Disc to work in GUI mode in R1.

I find 1.8 fails to run on 2 or 3 tracks after about the 3rd/4th track in an album.
So typical:
Track1 plays
Track2 plays
Track3 plays
Track4 fails
Track5 fails
Track6 fails
Track7 plays
Track8 plays

From either USB stick or RAMdisk.
Any ideas?

uploaded lekt.exe1644 v1.12 read file .try it.

you need change file path in .bat file. for example, if your ramdisk drive is F:\ then need change path to "F:\music\abc.wav" (play wav file from ramdisk drive).

1.12 works! sounds great so far.

now 1.xx depends on quality of ramdisk. currently using dataram. everything is good except dataram is a bit dry.

great your work with ramdisk software! think you do testing with FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, so get what mode is best. i'm busy with code, so waiting for your comment about ramdisk software. thx.

did a rapid 30mins listening & speed test

dataram- revealing, air, open. a bit dry. above average & consistent read speed.
SoftPefect- revealing. feels more bassy. think the stage is pushed forward. best write speed. inconsistent read speed.
GiliSoft- easy. mellow. read and write speed ok. EDIT: more musical one
Primo- easy. mellow. read and write speed ok. EDIT: has earaches.
bonddisc- not working in 2012 GUI mode.

speed test uses ATTO Disk Benchmark.

FAT16 needs <256MB to sound better.
FAT32 sounds good too.
NTFS is not better.

in Primo, you can change cluster size. bigger the better i think.

directIO > not directIO.
