Title: 0.9o degraded SQ Post by: LydMekk on October 24, 2007, 03:54:49 am Have installed the o-version. Not so sure is this was a step in the right direction...
Am able to play WMP ripped wavs in engine 3 now BUT: used -3 Q1 in N-version. If useing -3 in O AND clicking on either Double or Upsamp a crackling interceeds the music. If I then relaxes the Q1 to 0 the crackle goes away. All Q1 values below 0 gives crackle. No double or upsamp removes the crackle also when Q1 is below 0. AND, not 100% yet, but think the SQ has somewhat degraded from N, also with EAC-ripped material in engine 3... :( Suggestion: If the mods we have talked about in this thread is the cause, please remove these mods and support for my WMP ripped wav files. I'd rather rip them again in EAC and regain the high SQ from the N version. Title: 0.9o degraded SQ Post by: LydMekk on October 24, 2007, 04:01:30 am Yep, SQ IS definitely higher in N than in O-version...cleaner, clearer and better throughout the whole spectrum...sorry Peter!
Have reinstalled my N version and am back in my local nirvana... :) Title: 0.9o degraded SQ Post by: LydMekk on October 24, 2007, 04:28:04 am But, now after installing N again I have crackling under Q1=0 If I also enable either double or ups. Is this a factor of the O version beeing installed before reverting to N?
As I'm not USING double or Ups this is not a problem, only observing. Title: Re: 0.9o degraded SQ Post by: PeterSt on October 24, 2007, 07:19:01 am Unavoidable question : you did re-tick the Core Apopointment checkbox and did not forget to re-assign priority ?
Quote Is this a factor of the O version beeing installed before reverting to N? If you think of what "installed" means in this case ... Please think carefully wheter you did not change things in your environment (I know this is a superfluous question, but your quote above leads to it ...). I'm open to it anyway. :) One more thing : Indeed I can imagine SQ changes with your WMP rips. In the current version it would even be a mistake on my side. BUT : How do you compare things anyway ? If you only not listen to WMP rips now, *OR* did not re-rip especially to listen through XXHighEnd and all the so many "mistakes" which can be made, and which makes apples and oranges of things.

Maybe with some other wordings you can list again what when etc. ? :) Title: Re: 0.9o degraded SQ Post by: LydMekk on October 24, 2007, 05:44:55 pm Sorry for beeing a little unclear... :)
This was LATE last night. To cut through it: version O with the WMP WAV support is not as good-sounding as version N without WMP WAV support. Ok? Base-lines are fatter and not detailed enough compared with N. A little out of control in O. For my sake: dispense with the changes in O version kontra N. I'd rather ripp my CDs again in EAC rather than live with degraded playback possibly due to this and forego my already ripped CDs through WMP.

Nothing was changed besides unpacking XX in the same catalogue. I'm open to it anyway. :) One more thing : Indeed I can imagine SQ changes with your WMP rips. In the current version it would even be a mistake on my side. BUT : How do you compare things anyway ? Compared SQ by playing back one CD ripped in EAC (didn't use WMP rips for comp.) in N and the same CD in O version. Same settings, made sure of that.
