i have updated to intel HD graphic 15.33.6.64.3345
using old intel SATA 12.8.2.100

now 2.37's treble sounds much better. digital audio like you say, everyday is different. we better use the same driver, so we hear the same thing.

what is your Intel HD graphic? 4000, 4500,..?
my core i3 3110 use Intel HD graphic 4000, driver date 9/2/2012, ver. 9.17.10.2849
SATA 12.0.0.1082 (1/22/2013).
think i need take care Intel Display Audio driver, coz i use HDMI.

no idea. i have i7 3770k. whatever graphic it has... we shared same driver that's all i know.
this intel graphic driver affects SQ a lot. the latest driver cure my treble but i lost some air. i might have to test for best driver... very annoying.

i no longer know what is correct tune for treble anymore haha. maybe best to compare treble between different software players.

my other driver are properly tested. just the intel graphic i never bothered.

uploaded v2.37.1 256 , more energy/power, emotion, more transparent, keeped vibration. try it.

-change in tune. need time to see if better.
-soundstage. this is best clarity. very well organised/control. can follow any instrument. best for monitoring/making record
-i prefer 2.36.1's soundstage for listening. more natural. i am not forced to know where everything is.
-more transparent than 2.37. about same airy/transparent as 2.36.1. has more texture more rich. feels more real.
-very good emotion. >2.37.
-piano 2.36.1 better. 2.36's pianist two hands are integrated- good for listening. in 2.37.1, pianist two hands are separated- good for learning to play piano.
-overall better. new style of soundstage.

please also make a version with organic soundstage like 2.36.1.

uploaded (mod)2.37.1. sounds ok. mellow, dreamy.

(mod)2.37.1 keep soundstage, vibration improved a bit, just OK, JC. don't hope more vibration, always changed soundstage. it's too in my case , and energy/power reduced also. need use other method for code. im finding.
2.36.1 good soundstage, distance between sound and listener and width/height/depth just enough, so we feel elegant sound. only bass a bit compressed. 2.36.3 fixed it, are you tried.

yes. 2.36.3's soundstage doesn't feel the same. also good. 2.36.1 feels a bit more focus (maybe coz 2.36.1 is bright. false positive). 2.36.3 fixes brightness.
these new versions all very good.

recent bests:
2.37.1
2.36.3 (and 2.36.1)

think 2.36x has more correct tune than 2.37.1. (after i installed the new intel graphic driver, 2.36x's tune is quite perfect.)

right, JC. 2.37x not good soundstage, sound more thick, in near distance of us, only vibration better. need improve vibration, JC. 2.36x only good vibrates on good tweaked system as your, otherwise drum and bass still heavy, as in my case, bad tweaked.

2.36x is elegant because it is clean, airy, refined, high texture, high vibration also rich. the sound is youthful with energy. no other software players have all these elements in one. even lekt2.37.1 lacks youthful tune.

i start to feel 2.36x's height is less than norm? compared mqn.exe1.2 or 2.2mod

think XA have correct soundstage and weight (and nopgomemcpy also). 2.37 height ~ 1.2, over than my CD player. i use XA900B, 1000, nopgomemcpy for refference, they have non-compressed sound (only vibration not good, hehe...).
