And I noticed that poly-sinc-mqa is almost identical to a favourite of mine, sinc short, however it appears to be very good in reaching full attenuation by Nyquist and is also excellent the time domain! The only thing you trade for this is that it starts attenuating at 18khz already, but I don’t think this is a great loss as I don’t hear much above 16khz anyway.
Does anyone else have any experience with using the mqa filter for non-mqa content? I quite like it myself!
If you want the time-domain properties of mqa filter but want actual full attention by Nyquist, 1x = gauss-long and Nx = gauss-hires-lp is made for you !
The Gauss filters are indeed awesome! I have these as my defaults as per Jussi’s recommendation.
It’s a shame appear to never have been measured as I’d like to know the tradeoffs of switching to gauss-short or gauss-xla.
I prefer using poly-sinc-mqa/mp3-mp for Apple Music Atmos contents. This filter somehow can match Dolby Atmos Music FR curve (such curve’s final downward is: above 10KHz, -3dB per octave).
There’s a workaround for case where their CDN cuts the connection in the middle of the track. Freewheel is now also default for new installations, since it seems to be less likely happen that way.
There are also improvements on how TLS handshake is performed asynchronously while streaming (when source uses HTTPS).
After some time with my Holo May KTE, I have decided I prefer DSD512 (non EC) over DSD256 (ASDM7ECv2). Current settings for my M1 Mini (for the foreseeable future).
I’ve been thinking to try out HQPlayer. I’m in process of moving my core to NUC 8i5 with 16gb RAM. How high can you go with this kind of setup? DSD256?
