MC22 sound
« on: August 10, 2016, 03:47:19 pm »

Can you restore the engine of MC 21? The sound is more artificial, too round and muffled  ?

I find the sound to be the same, or slightly better on 22. It's actually gotten me to switch back to using jriver as my home theater audio player. Could be a placebo effect, but I think the sound quality for music is improved using sox.

As far as I know, the playback engine in MC22 didn't change from MC21.  Only an *optional* resampler was added: SoX.

When it gets updated from MC21 to MC22, there isn't a giant code change under the covers.  MC22.0.1 (and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5) were just an increment different from the last.  So the idea that MC22 sounds different than MC21, other than the SoX resampler option, is kind of strange.  I don't think they did anything to the audio engine other than that.  Oh, and the new "load files into memory" option.  But that's just *more* buffering.

I check but a little difference remain as I said before. Also when I pass from mc 20 to mc 21 there was a little difference. For an audiophile a little difference is a big difference.
