Hi sbgk

Thanks very much for your help.

I've downloaded a version from folder "mqn 24 96 test" from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tw9i3e9dkky9j6q/Qe7aL08-jF - not sure if it is the 24 bit version you mention but tried to play a 24bit 96 KHz wav fie and got an error saying MQNControl.exe has stopped responding - exception code c0000005.

i would have thought the 24 96 test would work
your dac uses 24 container only
24 96 tracks should work with this

It doesn't have any drivers as it uses the Mirosoft USB driver. I have had this working with JPLAY5.1 and JRIVER Kernel streaming and JRIVER via WSAPI all fine.

In Windows I can see the dCS as a sound device and it plays fine and have tested it via JRiver and it plays in all modes (ie Kernel streaming, WSAPI, WAV Out etc)

Really appreciate any help or advice on what to try / test to get MQN playing.

install:
1. download MQn.bat, paste.exe, a version of mqncontrol.exe, a version of mqnplay.exe.
2. put them all in one folder.
3. if you download mqncontrol.exe no affinity v2, make sure rename it as mqncontrol.exe.
4. if you down mqnplay.exe 2.60 sse4 intel, make sure rename it as mqnplay.exe

play a 16/44100 file, must be wav.
1. ctrl+c to copy the music file.
2. double click MQn.bat
3. music should come out.

Hi

Have tried as above - no luck I'm afraid - no sound, have downloaded files and copied to c:\musicplayer folder. I have tried lots of different mqnplay versions and mqncontrol versions but nothing plays and I am selecting many different 16 44100 files. I can't believe I'm having such problems, and yet no one else seems to be??

Clive

I couldn't get any sound from my installation with the V-Link-II in place it demanded 24 bit word length, and while I could adjust the sampling frequency in windows soundcard properties (44.1, 48, or 96k) it wouldn't allow 16 bit as as an optional word length.

My dac has an usb input, and using that directly (limited by the receiver to 16/48) everything works fine. Windows sees this as a generic usb sound card, whereas it specifically sees the V-Link II, if connected.

For me, using JRiver MC19 as a reference, I believe I'm hearing a more natural presentation, I think I'm hearing a lower noise floor. I'm not certain, and could be wishing to imagine these things. MC19 sounds great, MQn might sound better.

There is no working version yet SBGK is working on it


SBGK Thanks re info on version. When I get an evening to test out some of the favs will make sure I note the versions if that fails will contact you.

the 24 bit test version has worked in the past, not come across that error before, shall try and dig out a diagnostic version, it doesn't play, but will give some diagnostic messages.

Hi sbgk

Thank you very much for your help, that would be great and I am very happy to help with testing for you with 24 bit version in future.

May seem obvious, and I don't want to teach anyone to suck eggs...

They way I've taken to managing the testing of different versions and keep track is within the musicplayer folder I have subfolder \Versions (within which I keep all downloaded MQn player versions) and a subfolder \Now Playing. When I want to try a diferent version I copy it first into the \Now Playing Folder and delete the previous file there (so there is only one file ever resident in that folder), then I paste it into the main \Musicplayer folder, delete the previous MQnPlay.exe, reneame the new file to that and Bob's me uncle. I Also have a folder with the versions folder, marked \Keepers where I store annotated (filename modification) copies of the versions that score highest for subjective excellence.

Nice idea will give that a go. My version was to have my favourites on the desktop to do AB testing(not blind mind I could trip over some cables and do myself and injury)

For some reason any name I put on the folder in desktop still allows me play tracks.

there is also the mqntest.bat file in the test folder that plays 80 seconds of the same track for as many versions as you configure it with. Just need to play the track normally so that it is in the files.txt file ie start it and stop it and then run mqntest.bat

can you post the fist 10 lines of your mqn.bat file ?

SBGK after the CA mess I hope you'll stay here on TNH.

2.59 sse4 intel 8 4 16 16 4 looks like my new favorite.

recommend this when you are auditioning MQn
