PS Clive, thanks for the info.

the mqncontrol hirez v1

have uploaded v6 sse4 24 bit version, sounds good, but again avx is tighter and more controlled.

Think we are nearing the end, this is as good as I've heard it.

Could you do V6 200000, please?

you should be able to play 16/24 44 and 48 using mqncontrol hirez v1 as they have 200000 periods. Shall do the other versions in a few days time in case there are any other changes.

The combination mqncontrol hirez v1 with version 6 sounds wonderfully. I can play only 16/44 24/44 24/48. 88/96/192 files doesn't sound well, crackles.
Is it somehow possible to use mqn higres on a sse2 computer?

yes, think it just uses sse2 instructions now. shall rename it.

crackling due to small period size. 200000 version will fix it.

AVX2 SOUNDS REALLY GOOD
CAN A 448 VERSION BE DONE FOR A DIRECT COMPARISON?

COULD ONLY PLAY 16/44 THOUGH

did try a smaller sized version and wasn't convinced, can do a 16/44.1.

I'm a MQn user since a couple of months. I usually run mqnplay.exe 2.73 448 intel raw background, mqncontrol 2.71 448 10 and mqnload on a 8.1Pro-64 Atom D2700 based platform (AsRock AD2700-ITX) into a WaveIO (2.15) board.
It replaced foobar on redbook cause it delivers much greater satisfaction in terms of listening enjoyment. It has been a startling revelation from the beginning. Every element of musical reproduction has improved a lot.
I've just tested sse2 hirez version this morning and it works associated with mqncontrol v1 on every bit/sample pair up to 24/192. With mqncontrol v1 200000, mqnplay stops (with associated popup window "mqnplay.exe has stopped working") in a few seconds with 24/88, 24/96, 24/176 and 24/192 tracks, 44 and 48 rates are ok (both 16 and 24).
All sse4 and avx don't work on my system (not compliant).
My test has not been a listening test, just with scope at the dac output. Listening test to come.
I want to add my thanks to sbgk for this great player.
