In order not to repeat the same adjectives that others, I will say that once again I keep with the new settings. Just point out that I agree that there seems to be a better dynamic and sometimes I have the strange feeling like that the sound is going faster. With respect to leaving the Turbo Boost inactive, I dare not touch anything on the Bios of my Asus mb since I don't have the Stealh Pc, so if someone in my same case experiments with it I would like to know their opinion. Good job Peter!
Best regards, Juan

By when will it be ready? I would like to test that 5.19 Hey Juan, There is some radical new (cool) feature in 2.10 and I just finished 2 days of continuous work on solving the bugs around that feature. I suppose tonight's playback session will tell whether I succeeded with this bug-shooting. If so, all what remains is the Release Notes and I envision those to be written somewhere this week. Regards, Peter Thanks Peter! it sure will be worth the wait Best regards Juan

The only problem is, which has been discussed in the forum earlier, that after setting SFS to 5.19 & playing a track, the SFS, on its own, shifts to 4.19. Oh, apologies !! I have this active in my own system for so long by now that I completely forgot it is not in 2.09 yet. Sorry for the unmeant teasing !! Best regards, Peter By when will it be ready? I would like to test that 5.19 Regards Juan

Hello Todd, whether your intention was to direct Rhiannon Giddens recommendation to me personally or to Paul, I want to thank you deeply. I have always felt a special predilection for female voices and I have even written about it in the forum. Truly, Rhiannon Giddens has an impressive voice but not only that. I am convinced that from now on, for me and for the other members of this forum, her voice will be forever associated with your feelings. Even without knowing Sandra, I thank you for showing us so generously what a true love is.
Juan

Thank you for sharing Juan. I myself am not sure by now, except for that I am sure my hearing is off. Possibly that Australian flu going around ... So if it gets quiet in here, you know what happened. Regards, Peter Hey Peter, take care of yourself, we need your ears almost more than ours. Take a lot of orange juice and rest. Get well, Best regards, Juan

In my opinion with Arc Prediction the sound is presented with much more detail and in an almost holographic way. My understanding of Peter's concepts of dry and short goes in the direction of clarity and precision in placement in the sound scene. In the long run that clarity becomes fatiguing and may appear as with a metallic personality. For me this sound is almost perfect. However, I’d say that there is some kind of distortion of the harmonics or perhaps a lesser presence of some of them. I’d say that there is a preponderance of the harmonics that give a more harsh character to the sound and a lesser presence of the harmonics that give a rounder or warmer character to the sound.
Regards, Juan

All,
Yesterday was the 4th day that I played with an SFS of 20.19. The .19 is a residue from the 10.19 I use prior to that, and I did that deliberately.
In my perception this brings even more highs than the "too much of it" I reported about 10.20, earlier on, but now the highs are not nasty. I actually love this sound. The level of (good) detail is wild.
Regards, Peter
I thought I had too much bass with previous settings or no bass at all...
SFS of 20.19 works very nicely here as well cleaning up the "too much bass" with the lower SFS settings.
And here too, I hear clearly detail never heard before without nastyness.
A lot of detail and excellent bass. The only problem with such a high SFS is that sometimes the volume change does not work or it takes a long time. Regards, Juan Edit: Lately the volume level is working fine, restarting XXHighEnd fixed up the problem
