think 3.92 is same as 3.83, is 3.91 an improvement ?

don't think so

3.92 is still sounding clearly different from 3.83, but I think I may like it.
It is more direct and somewhat more delineated than 3.83, which is somewhat more rounded and softer-edged.
3.92 is a front row experience, voices and instruments are closer and more direct and up-front and clearly well separated.
3.83 is a middle row experience, you hear it more as a whole (but with clear positioning) and more depth towards the back instead of upfront.

I'm curious as to what Ken may think of it, I can imagine it looses a bit of the 'DSD-character'.

Ken, what do you think of control 3.92?

Your device string has to be equal or shorter in character length to the hard coded string in a version you are trying to modify for your needs.

Hi Seb

Thank you for this extensive explanation.

I applied it to a completely new USB-converter of no related manufacturer, and your method does work straight out of the box ;-)
I was lucky to have a very short device-id on the new device.

Thank you

Cheers

do we need a whip round to get you a haswell ? There's quite a step up in sound quality between normal and avx2. It's a bit like developing an F1 car, the technology get's passed down. Think we're nearly there with SQ, so next will be functionality. Never know, might integrate it with foobar, wonder what they would say to that.

Hi Gordon,

Foobar integration would be great. It's an universal tool, flexible, well developed and uncomplicated. With foobar MQN would be unbeatable (for a while) and benefitting lots oft people.

I know several friends who won't touch MQn as it is, but would like a shot if it was a Foobar plug-in.

I might even buy a Haswell if you did it!
BTW I was also speaking on behalf of quite a few loyal supporters who do not have AVX2, who would like to be involved.

Actually the main barrier to upgrading my rig is the reinstall of the modified 2012 R2 all over.

At least now that you are reaching a SQ conclusion, we Normal guys can expect the definitive Normal version real soon now?

Tried that HEX editing sebna posted, unfortunately my string was too long :<
So yeah, waiting for version with longer string now XD

Since I've been left out of the MQN wagon (I don't have Win8 nor AVX2) I've been using Bughead, it is really good in my opinion. The latest version 4.20 is amazing.

does the normal version not work on win 7 ?

No, I am left with a totally unresponsive computer. It's been a while that I haven't been able to use it, hoping to upgrade soon!

Just been playing mqncontrol 3.92 avx2 and mqnplay 9.05 avx2 aa , very impressive indeed, front row stuff ok. Recent mqncontrol and mqnplay aa versions really seem to encourage louder playing. Would I prefer 3.83? , no I don't think so, happy with 3.92.

You welcome. Glad it have worked for you.

What is your new converter? Is it Sonicweld from the sig? How do you like it?

Gordon any chance for a dummy string normal version as there are good few people hoping for it (the ciunas you have posted is even shorter then Meitner ;) )?

Thanks and merry Christmas everyone !

Hi Seb

No, the Diverter is in my main system for already a few years now and I think it is really great quality device.

The new DDC is the Mutec MC-1.2 that is now part of my office system and sits before the RME FireFace. I use the FireFace also as a DAC but it has a USB-interface that has no automatic sample rate switching, which is PITA when listening to music.
The FireFace is also in use as a mic pre-amplifier for home recordings but outside that sits as a DAC in my office system.


Cheers

Sebna, thanks for your instructions to create a version for a specific device!

I would like to use my Teac Dac with MQN but it does not work, probably because of buffersize settings. Is it possible with the Hexeditor to adjust the buffersettings in Mqn?
