Ticks because of using one SSD only ??

GREAT! I can sleep well at night.

If it transpires that there is a major issue with QAP and 24 bit files, one that impacts negatively on the SQ (as well as creating intermittent ticks), then I may have to totally re-evaluate my findings in the '16/44.1 vs 24/176.4' thread.

But you could do that tonight, yes ?

The only thing I can tell now is that 24/88.2 QAP exhibits the same. So it really looks like Quad Arc Prediction is doing it, and not the resulting sample rate. Also I am sorry I never heard it, but I *couldn't* hear it, because OAP (which I always use) is just allright.

Since it is in the left channel only, I'd say I must be able to find some typo in the program somewhere. So, you'll just have a good night for now. Also because of this :



I never came round to testing the "low Split File size" for its SQ merits, but today I used it to run into the ticks quickly. But I would swear it sounds better ...
I didn't pay attention to it at all, but it just occurred to me. So I thought "are those 24 input bits doing this to me ? nah ..." and then I thought of the small Split File size (12). Hmm ... I guess I leave it to that for now.

Thanks,
Peter

Peter, here's your homework for tonight: read http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1368.0

Ok, solved for 0.9z-3. And you know what ? I first solved 2 other bugs (but indeed typos) of which I thought they did it. How disappointed was I after the first solving not helping a thing.
After the third indeed did help, I went on ... and lost counting a bit. But 9 or 10 of those "typos" could be found (all different ones). Some without theoretical effect, but some with !

I even found one which really can (no, should)  influence SQ throughout if the file is 24 bits and upsampling (except AI) is in order.

I will admit that it is not the best thing that I (now for months) listen to different code than anyone of you, otherwise I sure will have noticed. As is the case with the OAP code of which I told I can hear each trackload with that very very resolving amp (and which I never heard before). But I still was ignorant enough to think "it just was so". Not anymore. So, on to that part now.
