2.10 sound quality

[PeterSt]

And exchanging my 30x5 for 5x30 does not seem to do much.

Lately something annoyed me. And yesterday with a 2nd album in a row, both from the early 70's, I heard a flanging effect in the highs. Possibly with the second (Triumvirat) I heard it because I heard it in the first Occupants from Interplanetary Craft - performed by The Carpenters).
I looked at my settings because I found it too odd, and my eye fell on the 5x30 again, of which I earlier had said not to notice much difference between the two (which surely should technically result in the same "treatment" as long as it is about Kernel Streaming (not WASAPI !)).

And then the problem was gone.

Extra odd (for me and XXHighEnd) could be that for WASAPI the values of Q1 (so Q1 alone and not related to xQ1 as multiplier) indeed would incur for such an effect when set from 0 to -4. Not that I ever heard it, but theoretically, yes.

I also recall an other setting which implies a "randomizing" effect. But  I forgot which that was and I don't see myself using any of that. Possibly it does not exist any more … It should be the ClockRes but I'd need to dive in the code to unveil it again.

Peter,

I have had Q1/xQ1 at 5x30 for a while and did not notice any flanging effect on the highs.  I have gone back and forth between 5x30 and 15x20 mostly to see if I can affect some "scratches" that happen occasionally because of USB errors.  Even after installing a dedicated line, Lush^2 is very sensitive to LED lights, dimmers, etc.

Update : The reason appeared to be something else;
It was the Custom Filter (set at Low). So I guess that we are able to hear so much through now, that this becomes apparent. And I suppose if you once hear it, you can't get rid of it any more.

Regards,

Peter have you gone back to Arc Prediction? I have and prefer it over custom filter settings from low to high.

But are you running 2.11 so we may be behind on the settings front.

Robert, yes I am on Native Arc Prediction. But some times I try Custom when I don't like something. Always to no avail.

Best regards,
Peter
