You can always override it, as with my batch the tasker command follows the start of mqncontrol+mqnplay and will set the final value.
But agreed these things should best not be fixed inside an executable.
guys maybe it is threading priority. not process priority.

try test it see which is best

Surely the whole pursuit of MQn is to provide a minimalist player. So having user configurable settings built in for Priority, could be considered to be unnecessary, when we can all do that ourselves (to suit our taste) easily in a batch file.

No, the terms are of process priority.
Thread priority uses other terminology.

High priority is ok
real time has much better resolution
Suppose a 5ms real time version would out of the question?

Playing Gregory Porter Liquid Spirit in 96/24 is just wonderful, good clean bass, well controlled, good ease to the sound.

7.49 set's mqnplay to realtime priority, improves another unmeasurable aspect of the sq

the exe is back up to 140kb, so the next thing is to trim that down to 2kb and that'll be that.
7.49 1644 Normal is stunning. Def my best yet and my new reference.
Everything about it is a step up from 7.41 V93PA which was itself very good.
A proverbial veil lifted. Dynamic and detailed but also no hint of harshness.

One thing I noticed in Task Manager which I haven't seen before was that MQnPlay.exe when a single track was played took 2GB of RAM and CPU % a steady 30.5%. Both readings somewhat surprised and concerned me.

Is that to be expected, Gordon?
