the next level has been reached

uploaded pa v91

you'll need to alter the device no in the mqnparam.txt file

mine used to say 1 and 4 and I used 4 as 1 was the laptop, though can't seem to play via the laptop.

now I use 0, is it because I have only 1 device that works ?

the reason for the change is that before capture devices were considered as well as render. now only render.

anyway, if you get it working it's a treat

+1
Better focus and even tighter bass.

Question: Why the MQn window doesn't close after the song is finished?!

Haven't had much time lately so I can't keep up with the speed at which new versions are appearing, but I noticed an interesting snippet:
sbgk wrote:uploaded v89 normal for those in the cheap seats.
there is an avx setting I could try as well, but avx2 is definitely better than normal.
With wasapi on my system with AMD CPU there was a clear order of preference when comparing the same version in the various instruction set iterations:
avx amd > avx > avx2 >sse2
Now that you mention an avx setting you could try, I wonder if that would still improve things with KS over the normal versions for the folks like me that can't play avx2.

I also would like to request a 2496 normal version of MQN 7.41 if possible.

v91 is very good and enjoyable great progress,
takes longer to test now (good sign)

resolution/detail/focus, dynamics/definition still a little behind yet
other stuff ks does better?

KS is going to be great :)

is reducing the buffers not gonna help the resolution?

still think the kernel is trying to handle 10ms of data at a time. Did try smaller buffers, seemed noisier to me and there was loss of bass.

Same with wasapi lower buffer less bass quanity
I haven't been testing all the versions
Which are low buffered?

Think low buffer and try to find another way to get the bass back should be an option
