Was listening yesterday to V7. did not do comparisons but it was very impressive. Today will do some comparison. Am I right that the player will always cut off after reaching 50mb mark on the file?

Cheers,

I think v7 is better than v9
V9 has become a bit wooly, lost some of its speed in the transients.

Much better again.

For those having problems stopping Mqnplay.exe with the taskkill command, check if you have WMI service running or not. taskkill requires WMI-service, but it is an extra service running.

so the obvious thing to do is load the data into the driver queue and just have mqn pause, uploaded v11 which does this.

mqn is no longer rendering, it loads the data into the device driver queue and sleeps for 4 minutes (it has to keep the device open).

Now everything is in kernel mode and there's a lift in SQ, I think.

You can check mqn processor %, should be 0.

v11 reduced the priority after the load, but sounds better with it kept high, uploaded v12.

Definitely the best I've heard.

v12 works on my setup. CPU usage is around 1%.

Thanks Gordon.

Both v11 and v12 will not run on my setup on 2012R2.
In taskmanager I see it crash directly after startup.
