I like V9 very much too, the latest versions are really a huge step forward - thanks Gordon!
Currently have set up an Mini-ITX board with Ivy Bridge CPU, but will try the AVX2 versions the next days with my NUC2. It has a low voltage Haswell CPU (i5-4250U), but according to Intel White Papers it supports AVX2.

200 euro would do a Haswell conversion for most guys
Would like to try smaller period size
Even if its to get it out of me head

How would you read if motherboard would accept it, I mean , compatible?


Haswell mobo require the LGA 1150 cpu socket while
the SandyBridge/IvyBridge require the LGA 1155 cpu socket.

So if you're using Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge now, your mobo won't be compatible.

That's what I was afraid of!
It's not only the new CPU, it's a complete new PC!

I don't know how the AVX's sound, but the latest V9 sounds beautiful. Hope for 32 bit soon.

Gordon, it looks like this little break from MQn did you good and recharged your batteries! ;-)

still not sure if windows audio will ever be as good as dedicated linux hardware/os outputting i2s using dma or fpga, but at least there has been some progress. Potentially ks hardware offloaded will be as good, but no sign of any devices capable of that yet.

there's an interesting thread on CA about someones visit to Paul Pang in Taiwan and the extreme system/tweaking they have untertaken.

Excellent clarity in the reproduction . I prefer it to 2.71 . One small problem , at the end of playing a selection of tracks a momentary crackle comes thro the speakers.

Haven't been able to get any of the avx versions to play ,so far , but stiil experimenting.

The command window comes up on screen , and stays there but no sound from speakers.

Nice one again. Actually, every new version trows in the dust the previous one.
V10 reminds me of 448 on steroids!

BTW seeing the PPA CF card again, brings back some "wonderful" memories!
Isn't that right Nigel? Hehehe
