That I don't use ArcPred doesn't make it a bad thing. It is not ment to work that way, it is for NOS-DACs. Justed in case "someone" misunderstands this.

I have a RME-9632 and I know how cr*py it sounds. Sorry but... LOL

To be honest, at last, I kicked out ArcPred again. Don't know what was yesterday Maby to sick to hear. ArcPred has something but, there is still the awkwardness... However, now all is back to normal except that I kept the doubling.

I made a short test between the 32 and 64 bit version. If there is a difference in how they sound, it is very smal. Maby 64 is a tiny bit better but this is in the range of imagination/placebo.

I am back to 8xOs. There are "more" highs with 4xOs and it sounds more dynamic (agressiv?) but it is also fartiguing. There is something wrong, something that bothers my ears. 8xOs sounds finer and renders/seperates each instrument more. As always, it needs a little time to judge.

It was done before the oversampling changes (8xOs with filter).
Now I use 4xOs with filter. The sound is very different now. Much more highs. will do the 32/64 test later. I must buy some food now :starving:
greetings

Best sound is with DAP and 4xOs with filter=on. without filter it sounds grainy no matter if I use 8,4,2,1x Os.
After all. Today I could do a lot for the sound, very exciting. Must be my gift from Santa Claus.

Thx... now I get it. I was to excited to get a clear thought. Ok there is the oversampling and the filter. I can switch the filter on/off and adjust oversampling from 1x to 8x. Ok. What I did:
Changed oversampling rate from 1x to 8x with "filter=on" (best was 4x os)
switched the filter off and 8x oversampling=on (I thought the oversampling would be off if the filter is off)
I will try to disable both and go up with oversampling if it sounds bad...

Ok. First results
no filter is like mani sayd no good idea. it has more present highs but after some time you know there is something wrong.
With the oversampling it is different.
Standart setting 8x.
The first new setting I tried was 1x os. The highs become much more dynamic and brighter (people sayed it should be the other way round..because earlyer roll off.)
drums sounded much more real. 8x sounds also nice a little bit layed back and rounder.
At the moment I listen two 4x, which seems to be a good compromise.
Maybe because 2usx4os=8x

Any Idea how to do?

here are the settings one can make

Yes.

there are two settings one can make.
dip 7 is bypass

and dip 4,5 one can set oversampling from 1X to 8x

The differents is not realy clear to me. is 1x oversampling still oversampling? It sounds not as bright as bypass.

Jep, QAP doesn't work.

ok thx ... i will go back to the 1x os settings.

WOW! That was a great hint  Highs are so much more present and real now...must listen a little longer there are different settings...1xoversampling and nos ...what is the differents?

I found the settings... GREAT.. I will play

never thought about that...can I do this by just switching the jumpers? Do you know where I get the information how to do it? Great Idea!

thx marcin!

I tested aples with aples first:

xx-engine3@44.1/16bit <-> jplay64
result: same sort of sound but jplay sounds cleaner

then aples with pears

xx-engine4,special@44.1/16bit <-> jplay64
result: nearly same level of detail, a little bit more focus on lower midrange and bass with xx, jplay sounds brighter

and then aples with oranges

xx-engine4,special@88.2/24bit <-> jplay64
result: much more musical with xx, more 3d, simply better

btw: just tested sfs.ini settigns again: would say 01 is closer to jplay than 21...I like 01 more

Where is the instruction to set up the memory lock thing?
