Hi Andrey,

It is rather easy to add FLAC for Engine#1 and #2 weren't it that the way all is consistently setup will induce for timing problems on gapless and cpu useage that influences sound. For anyone who is not bothered too much by these aspects ... it can be done.

But hey, I'm already anticipating on MP3 support now :(, so why not ...

Please correct me I misunderstood you.

So adding flac to engines 1 and 2 will influence the SQ while adding it to engine 3 will not.

Correct. Since the 0.9m version and Processor Core Appointment - working with Engine#3 only - it would.

All can be done, but it really would be, say, stupid to do, since the SQ coming from Engine#1 and #2 is already miles worse opposed to Vista/#3.
I think you can test this yourself ...

So, applying FLAC for #1 and #2, OK, but without the effort to let it sound "the best".

Peter

I recently bought a license for your XXHigh end player and am very enthousiast about how it performs.
Unfortunately I won't upgrade my PC to Vista on short term and I am afraid will have to do with XP for some time to come.

Now here is my question (as if you didn't see it coming). I am checking practically every day to see if a version had come out supporting flac (and now even MP3) which will run under XP. Peter I am sure there are more than just a few who have their reasons to stick to XP for a while. Will you please enlighten us and tell us if you will come with such a version and if so .............when?

thanks a lot in advance
Leon

I'll try to brew something for y'all. But please keep in mind : this cannot be about SQ !

Hoi Peter,

This cannot be about SQ !

What do you mean by this? Does this mean that the sound quality degrades a lot or just a bit? Or don't you know just yet...

Grtz...
