listening on Win8.1
I think this version has very much upwards slanted sound.
Its going a long way away from a natural clean studio sound and entering some other weird territory.
This version sounds light weight. Bass is nowhere. mids are recessed. Highs are weird, like there is a shimmering distortion.
Apologies, but I need to say what I hear. And I can find no other way to say it. I do not mean to be impolite.
I didn't get full bass until my system had warmed up, thought that I was getting everything in good proportion after that. Shall try it without the raw setting to see if the new prefetch method is a step forward or not.

Just did the 8.1 upgrade on the audio pc this morning and had a quick listen.
It seemed cleaner and more relaxed with 2.66 mfence.
I have just had a listen to 2.69 and it certainly does not lack bass on my system, nor can I detect any oddities of balance. In fact it sounds very enjoyable, still with the rich seem of detail and dynamics. Need more time of course but it doesn't seem like a step back in any way.

No not at all. Everything is worthy of investigation.

sbgk, when you do your listening are you doing it on Win8.1 or WS 2012 R2?
I haven't installed R2 yet.

After installing 8.1 do I need to go and do the registry change again as outlined in the MQn readme?

you are right. this version is great. listening again. new sensation.
i remember this version had earaches when i had Win32PrioritySeparation=18. much earaches have disappeared (still plenty of earaches) after i changed it to 28 with a new clockrate. digital jitter is fascinating.

Hi Erin
I just did the update today and yes, I needed to readjust the registry settings. So I think it is at least worth checking.

This happens on loading, but it would continue to play.
Any idea...thanks!
Has anybody with Win 8.1 bumped into this error yet? I still don't know why it's happening.
