uploaded 5.16 16/44 avx2, better treble
thought 5.14 was a bit overblown compared to 5.15

5.14 resolves background music much better than 5.15, plus bass is better defined and tighter.
I was the last fan of 4.82, but I'm almost to say that 5.14 is my new champ.

I found the opposite, thought 5.14 lacked control and didn't give a realistic stage in comparison to 5.15, shall retest.
think the treble on 5.16 is better though

24/96 5.15avx2 is better than 5.14 . Bass is tighter and treble is wonderful. I did a comparison using only one track between Jplay 24/96 PCM , MQN 24/96 PCM and Jplay DSD. MQN is ahead of Jplay PCM in terms of detail/emotion and close to Jplay DSD IMHO

Did not do much listening lately, but 5.14 avx2 is out of this world!!!
I did not try anything higher than 5.14, but I don't understand how I can play avx2 with Ivy Bridge?!

Please list control version used and what memory configuration you have?
I have no problems in getting it to play it's just the sound has a metallic sound to it and produces a lot of background noise.
I tried playing back off the onboard sound card via optical into my DAC, still exhibits the same issue. I am beginning to suspect my memory might be at fault although I run loose timings at 1333Mhz.
The only version that runs perfectly is 4.08 even the newer SSE2 ones fail, will continue troubleshooting tonight.

do you disable the jplay service and reboot before using mqn ?
