In Reply to: RE: cplay 2.b42 or better. New very important tweaks part 3 posted by steppe on August 23, 2011 at 04:13:11
Hi Serge,
Thanks for the detail work.
I had taken 2 steps to execute the process.
1. Remove everything in your first paragraph, except ksuser.dll, which had to be reinstall after cPlay complained with an error message (I am an ASIO4ALL user).
2. Everything else.
After step 1, the SQ is improved further along the line of your previous post. The gravity of the mid-range is most noticeable.
After step 2, there is a shift in balance to the top. Yes, there is a general clean up of everything, but the lower-mid is lighter. I had to turn up the bass woofer just so lightly. Will listen more.
However, I have one problem: just how do you remove the Microsoft PCM Converter? The usually route of the Control Panel>Audio Device>Hardware>Codec doesn't allow me to remove it. So how do you do it?
Thanks again for the great effort.
KC
Follow Ups:
I agree with your sonics assessment but did you eliminate Windows Media Player? When I deleted this it brought back much of the lower mids/bass.
Yes, but not the 20 minutes that steppe indicated, but something like a few hours. May be loud music is also needed, mine happened during Beatles 'White Album', played LOUD.
Before burn-in, no bass, little dynamic, and a recess sound stage. Everything changes after burn-in.
I am now back to 'Tiny' buffer.

Hi theob,
Yes, I had eliminated Windows Media Player (move the Windows Media Player folder from Programs directory to TMP).
Since yesterday, I had switched the cPlay buffer from 'Tiny' to 'Small'. That seems to have restored the mid-range, top-bass gravity.
Will listen more.
