Think you were closer at 2.19 or 2.20
Loose clarity with 2.22
Like a 4k monitor but the screen could do with a bit of a wipe

yup, 2.20 sounds better.

think I'd be happy to call it a day with 2.20, seems to tick all the boxes, detailed, punchy, not digital, good timing.

Would a avx 2.20 have nothing to offer?
Think it might

yes, it would be better, the method would be the same for avx and sse4, just the avx would use avx versions of the sse4 instructions, shall do an avx version tonight.

with these last few versions you can see how frustrating it is trying to get the data through the cpu so that it sounds good, hopefully a hardware solution wouldn't have these limitations though there's no guarantee that it won't end up sounding bad.

avx seems to be lighter on its feet, a little more agile when it needs to be

I tried everyone from R 2.17 to R 2.22.
In my system they all sound the same as the 2.3's.
Only crackling!!!

Looks like I have a problem with "the best" versions?! Probably to good?! ;-)

No crackling with my dac/driver.....driver quality seems very hit and miss. Some drivers are simply not expecting low latency it would seem.
