Tried 2.55 with Latest Control R1.4 and thought it was good, then tried old mqncontrol.exe 24 bit avx2 V1 1000000 and now love what I am hearing at a short listen.
Up for serious consideration at the moment to take over the MQN Best Folder for me.

Sounds amazing as I am typing right now.
Great work.

just changed over from control 1.4 to avx 100000 and it does sound more realistic, still a mystery what's going on there.

Well.. With 100000 it's pretty damn impressive after all '512' versions and v7 avx also. Wanna listen some more!:)

nearly there - uploaded 2.56, which differs from 2.55 by 1 instruction, sounds different, is it better ? difference is for 16/44 only.

the energy you used to write that ditty could have been used to try 2.56 !

don't think it's got any merit, but sounds different anyway.

another example of how the instructions affect the sq as the data passes through the cpu. Wonder how the cpu bypass project is progressing.

nope thats only 6 mths or so ago

addicts are always quitting

go listen to avx 2.55 and come back to us (hires i think too)

the control file thing is weird needs to be the old one
is there a mistake in the newer controls?

it's not work if it's your hobby

listening to Claire Martin's Too much in love to care on 24/96, heard her live last year and with 2.55 this is the first time it has sounded like a live set, the sounds of the vocal, piano, bass and drums are much more distinct and you can hear how the songs are constructed. Not sure if kernel streaming would add anything more, but it's sounding very good with just wasapi.
