It is strongly advised to not use your system without a preamp (or the pre-amp at max volume for that matter) if you or your speakers won't be able to handle a situation that e.g. the file contains wrongly formatted data or otherwise - because of which cracks may emerge with an energy beyond imagination.

The following changes have been applied (all Engine #3) :

  • It could happen that at the end of a track a (vinyl like) click could be heard;
    Although this behaviour couldn't be copied at will, a good reason was found for it to happen, and this has been eliminated.
    This could happen with albums with non-standard header data.

  • Gapless at Attended Playback didn't work anymore for files with too long "preprocessing", thinking of the combination of FLAC and padding to 32 bits.
    Also, it can be expected that MP3 works out better too in this area, which -honestly- wasn't working satisfactory, and which was blamed to the MP3's themselves. However, a bug was found in this area, so MP3's too might work well now (untested).

  • 48/24 and 88.2/24 files can be played with a 16 bit DAC.
    (96/24 files already could)

  • Since the last version(s) an album may end with "XXEngine3 not working anymore"; although this was not explicitly solved it may be expected it is.

  • It could occur that ChangeWP errored with a "not working anymore", and a reason for this was found and eliminated. Here too, please report if it still happens.

  • With a 16 bit DAC and the Digital Volume at -0dB, a track ended in slow motion through the right channel (and the left channel being silent). For those who had the slow motion in the left channel, check your gear ! yes


This version, like 0.9u-10, may be perceived as too dynamically. This will be solved (as an option) in the next version.

Edit : Issue : In this version Doubling (and Quad) with Mem unchecked does not work. Also, currenty the Dac Test does not work.
