Title: T7 vs. T5 SQ, T5 seems better in depth/bass etc.
Post by: LydMekk on January 30, 2008, 12:32:56 am
Have compared T5 to T7 tonight. Sorry to report that depth recital, bass lines etc. is not as good on the T7 version as the T5. T5 flows better, seems more involving.

Read that explorer utils has been added on the T7. Any corrections elsewhere in the code handling the playback which can have changed SQ?

Using the same settings, see signatur.

I'm out on this race.  My head has been stuffed up with a cold for over a week :/

Nothing to be sorry for, and only good that you mention it ! But :

You sig doesn't mention whether this is with UnAttended. Actually I don't think so, because with that nothing could have changed the sound. Ok, but one tiny small thingy maybe. So, how did you observe this ?

I know that you at least tried UnAttended looking at the other topic from before, but still ...

Thanks,
Peter

No SQ change for me with 7t.
I am using unattended. My latest find is thread priority = Normal ("Nothing" is not the same)

BTW sometimes it helps to reboot. When you play one version then change to other version, try rebooting first.

Using Attended(Normal) playback with the program up on the screen at all times. Can't hear much difference between Un-attended or Attended, actually. If there's a difference, its minute.

Have not changed any priorities at all beyond using prosessor scheme #3.

T7 sounds "strung on a line between the speakers" while T5 "flows", have very good depth, better bass and sounds more analog.

Hahaha, but that's exactly the point. There *is* a difference, and you proved it yourself ! Unattended eliminates the differences between software versions outside the sound engine (#3 that is). Now it only needs that you find unattended better than 0.9t-5 and 0.9t-7.

So yes, throughout time I learned that the attended playback is subject to "unrelated" software, e.g. that explorer. I can't help that, and I can't control it much (not yet). So I detached the sound from those things. UnAttended playback ...

PS: Sometimes I briefly play normal (attended). And I think I agree with you; some versions ago (would be 0.9t-5 I think) I didn't have as much the need to play unattended.
PPS: Maybe I have the idea that unattended has sound better before as well. But again I wouldn't know how, and I blame the equipment.
