Listening to 6.40.

The sound is right up my alley

Resolving, very beautiful tonality (especially upper highs), deep and wide sound stage.

I had stopped following this thread after I disliked the sound quality of earlier versions(my post 12 in thread). I just popped up today and downloaded BHP 6.40v as per Joshua recommendation and I can say yes,its much better than older versions.The dark background, no harshness or thin vocals.Simply enjoyable warm/musical sound.One more FM did confirm it.
Thanks Joshua and other members for trying new versions and keeping this thread alive .:thumbsup:

How to save playlist for next time?

 

[raj_krish]

You need to use the option write to playlist , which appears by doing the right click
Same can be done for editing the playlist
If you want add the songs to specific play list use the option add to play list and then add songs
At last use write to play list

6.45 is out...the presentation seems to be more relaxed and big improvement on bass ---initial listening Normal Advance Slade 7 and avx rewrite.

 

[jls001]

How is it resource-wise? Hope it's no longer processor hog.

 

[Nikhil]

6.45 is much better in terms of resources.

To be honest 6.42 was a bit too much of a hog and I really didn't even bother to listen to it much.
Whatever it was doing was not really worth the amount of time it was taking to process the signal.

I have lost track of what the different versions sound like.
I only notice when something is not to my liking and one of the recent versions caused a little too much bass bloat in my setup.

 

[Kushanava]

The good thing is there are no more updates after 6.45 for at-least 3 days.This gives a chance to the users to settle down on the player ->choose the right settings.I also need to find out the settings that transfers the purest bits to the Dac.

I also need to find out the settings that transfers the purest bits to the Dac.

How are you finding this out? I'm interested.

The setting that gives the most balanced sound to my ears for the majority of my music collection is the purest.

What is 'purest bits'?
I am curious; very new to digital audio; but have been working with high speed digital technology (non-audio) forever.

Must be Bit-perfect.

 

[raghupb]

For a WAV file with no special setting in SW player, then read from disk --> transfer PCM to output should result in bit-perfect, correct?
No idea what FLAC to PCM does to bits, though.

Actually some softwares or window system used to alter the resolution/samples and bits.With software like foobar started using wasapi/asio which could send perfect data to DAC/soundcard.Even software need to read the audio file correctly.

If the player SW does not read the file correctly, then all bets are off. Doubt if the technology is at this state today.
A biased way to check read operation is to open a file in say foobar and write back in the same format and diff the 2 files.
If there is no difference, then read can be presumed to be fine (unless there is the same bug in read and write; unlikely)

From reading this thread, BHE does a great many things to the actual info in the file to make it sound different/better. So bit-perfect is not bit-original.

Don't worry too much if it's pure/impure. What matters is the sound. Only.

 

[dheerajin]

and dont worry about the settings too. I play it in default mode and still it beats my previous player in terms of timing , resolution, sound stage and above all it gives some unexplained magical presentation.

What was your prev player.I have also found d same when compared to foobar.
