It changes automatically to 11610, but they prefer 448.
You will have to change manually every time you start MQn.

nope

every time you play a track clockrate is changed
if i change it to 448
new mqnplay 448 changes it back and then plays
if i try any funny business it wont play at all :(

That is what I meant by start MQn.

After all these testings and trying to find the "right or wrong" and in the end knowing less than before, in the back of my mind I kind of hope for not that many options and settings!
I kind of hope for "This is it and that's it" and I can finally get to listen to some music!!!

If all the recordings were recorded the same way than that would make it easy, but with one recording it sounds better this way and with another one the other way!
So, even if I was sane, I would become crazy!!! ;-)))

"If all the recordings were recorded the same way than that would make it easy, but with one recording it sounds better this way and with another one the other way!"

You should sell your kool stuff, and buy something that you can change treble and bass, or even better, a nice equalizer..:)
I would never think, that you are going to get tired of this journey!

The point is that those settings are in some way acting like an equalizer. I'm just getting tired of changing them all the time looking for "the best one"!
Especially when I start to play the music, the little devil on my shoulder keeps saying "maybe it's gonna sound better with the other setting.....try it, try it"!

R1.5 512 playing perfectly with mqncontrol R1.1 512 mmcss clockrate as was R1.4
but tried R1.5 448 play/ control and got noise/stammering on 16bit but fine on 24/88

avx R1.5-448 does not work on my setup like the R1.4, just as Gordon predicted it wouldn't.
Probably because were back into to incompatible coding for my hardware.

So it is back to 100000 with 448 clockrate as best sounding 16-bit version and the 32-bit R1.1-512 with 448 clockrate as that is the only one capable of playing my 24-bit DRC-ed music.


--------
For your information:
The R2.5 - 512 and R3.5-512 do play, so it is the 1.x version since 1.4 that's no longer compatible.

I can't play any of R1.5, so I tried 2.5 last night, but I'm back to 100000. It is still my favorite one for 16/44, where 98% of my music is at.

Edit
I am back to 2.5, more I listen more I like it. Interesting that I can't play this version with custom Naim driver, but windows generic USB driver, no problem.

had a go at 1.5 448.
100000 is better.

yes, it changes clockrate. it can forget to restore my original clockrate when it finishes

Tried Nigel's dropbox of 100000 and as per usual anything touched by the messiah works fine!. Many thanks Nigel a few tracks in now and 100000 is definitely very very pleasant. Ok edite see from earlier posts it only plays 16bit but yes it is the one I will use for 16bit.
Trying R1.1 for hires I changed clock rate in proaudio to 448 and maybe it is just a good night but sounds excellent. 16bit which has most of my stuff anyway has loads of detail but not no ear ache really very melodic for me. And I am purposely trying the hard ones to check it out.

Will set up some of the other new versions and give them a spin over the rest of the weekend but not sure where to go from these two?
What a day for the Irish on paddies weekend we did it the hard way as per usual but got over the line.Great performance.

Don't mean to be a pest, but can anyone point me toward which of the more recent versions of MQn might work on a Win 7 build? Last version I was able to get working was a 2.71 iteration, and I'm gathering Gordon has pushed further into engineering MQn for Win 8.1/8/Server-specific exploits. Thanks.
