improved vibration, tried keep sound texture of sop version.
prefer acav, more vibration, refined. seems it best for piano sound.

yes yes, acav is easily better than cch and ifi.
acav should be current best! cleaner more refined sound. more free. more ease.
all hifi elements are better.

yes, acav is best balance for piano.
sop although is most skillful in piano, i think it tries too hard to reproduce body of notes. has earaches. makes ears tired.

thx lekt

here my setup acav is super refined at vocal peak. it doesn't go over the top. it stops right there at the right time. and the vocal decay go right back down and stop right there. very very skilled.
very very good hifi i think.

----
ok.. need just a bit more vocal peak. 0.01% more. e.g. ucx5 has full peak.

----
maybe not... coz drum=100% solid weight earache-free. seems not possible vocal weight is not enough. i don't know hehe

----
i can feel foam treble here. some versions of 2.97x can do it too. forgotten which one

acav didn't keep texture of sop, sound a bit goes down, minor, not major as ifi and cch. its vocal and bass focus under than. sop a bit imbalance, dirty but sound goes up, correct movement. engaging...
though acav's average value is highest, SQ like as hifi, very good. clean, clarity, sharpness, mellow, soft, balance. i think it's best of lekt.

acav is at some perfect sweetspot. love the sound, lekt!

JC, did you try with letter "!" for file/folder. try rename lekt.exe to !.exe. much better in my case.

Agree.. acav is your best: clean hifi but it lets me walk away..
I cannot leave sop so easy..

it works! little bit better here.

alright...

so we need a new lektalbum.exe, it probably should produce a bat like this:

copy "e:\music folder\example_music.wav" "c:\!.wav"
copy "lekt.exe" "c:\!.wav"
title example_music.wav
cls
c:\!.exe --file "c:\!.wav"

ok, for experiment only, will improve lekt.exe to !.exe's SQ.
letter "!" is first by alphabet that's OS lets use for naming files and folders. i use it in some cases, big benefit.

sop's sound stage and some factors are hifi. sound very nice goes up, can reproduce difficult piano playing skill.
