I have borrowed an Audiophilleo to compare my Hugo USB input vs SPDIF.
With the USB input, all the players available to me worked fine. MQn > HQ Player > Foobar.
With SPDIF, both Foobar and HQ Player worked fine (I had to increase HQ Player WASAPI buffer to 20 ms to avoid clicks). With MQn, music plays with regular background noise (clicks and pops).
What should I do to correct this behavior?

On the subject of Hugo's USB vs SPDIF, more listening is required. The Audiophilleo is brand new and needs break-in. The sound with the Audiophilleo is more relaxed, analog like, but the USB input has more details.
And I need to make MQn work with SPDIF in my system.
sbgk,

I need your help here.
I retested today with/without RAM OS and MQn plays with clicks and pops. As I had to raise HQ Player buffer time to 20ms, I wonder if the problem lies with the buffer time. Is there a solution for this?

v92 a bit more solid in bass, but still retains the detail, so many ways to skin a cat, think this one has everything.

shall get the multitrack out tomorrow.

v93 small tweak to v92, full on experience now, amazing what 16/44 can sound like.

Listened to v88, v93 and v95.
v88 has less detail. The other two - I think I like v93 best - amazing as elaprince say. They both have very good detail.

Another thing:
A week ago I installed Windows 10 Home on my music PC. With MQn I used mqnplay win 10 v88, control v28 and loader v27.
When I started to play a file, both mqncontrol and mqnloader would start as Background processes in Task Manager. After 30 sec. mqnloader stopped, and then mqnplay and music started.
Then I run Fidelizer Pro 6.9 (Extremist), and after that mqnloader would run background for a full minute, before it stopped and mqnplay and music started.
I then reverted to 2012 R2

+1
If you own Win Server 2012 R2 there is no point IMHO to try Win10
Win10 is inferior to Win Server
I think it would be beneficial for everyone here to try Win Server 2016 which is coming out hopefully next year
Preview already made available by Bill
I am i few weeks time I might do that myself (already have latest preview on hand)
Thanks
