I agree with that.

i just realize my DAC is best with buffers
44,88,178,352....

lekt told me his DAC best buffer size are
160, 320...

MQn currently is doing
256, 512, 1024, 2048...

Audiofire's best buffer size are
160, 320, 640....

i only just realize this pattern. buffer is DAC dependent, i think.

no, 1024 for hirez and 2048 samples for 16 bit sized for optimum cpu data throughput , doesn't your spdif/dac driver have buffer settings ? What buffer settings does youtube use ?

my DAC supports 1ms(44), 2ms(88)..., 8ms(352), 10ms, 20ms.... i just realize 1024 or 2048 doesn't match it. i finally figure out pkshan has 640 buffers set in both player and DAC. lekt sets his buffers to 160 i think.

the funny thing is that i tried a clockrate with 44(1ms)/44100, it sounds mostly better over using 2048/44100. that's how i think buffer & clockrate is more to do with DAC than player.

I am liking 2.70 a lot. Seems very musical and balanced.

Had a quick play with the clock rate setting in registry - not really hearing much difference tbh. Got it set at 44, have had it set at sbgk's recommended value for a week before that. May try some random values just to see if it can be heard...

prefer 2.69 sse2 intel win 8.1 - R2.69 sse2 intel to 2.70 sse2 by a big margin

thought 2.69 sse2 intel win 8.1 - R2 was all over the place as far as staging and the raw setting was making the sound weird, what was wrong with 2.70 ?

2.70 sse2 intel > or= 2.68 sse2 intel win 8.1-R2 only > 2.69 sse2 intel win 8.1
I having hard time to find the difference between 2.70 and 2.68, sorry.

ok 2.70 is a bit of a dog, amazing how hearing can change, I know the setting that is at fault.

That was exactly my point when I was discussing about some SQ change with some tweaks, back on some pages. I wouldn't like to go into those discussions again.

Doh! Trying to get mqn up on new install 2012 R2 WTG USB stick..

But I get an errror: Could not find a RIFF/WAVE chuck: mmr = o0x00000109

Any ideas what I have forgotten to do?
