Ok, Bojcha I have tested MAXfm_v5 (Addiction_v6 is too new).
The sound character is very, very good ......, but Pre Amp and AGC do things that destroy the whole dramatic line (even inverts volume relations) of some music.
For example play these well-known music titles:
Placebo - Every You And Every Me
Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You
Pink - Just Like A Pill
Semisonic - Closing Time
Vicky Leandros - Apres Toi
Wheatus - A Little Respect
Apollo 440 - Stop The Rock
Don McLean - American Pie
Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Glow - Mr. Brown
Manfred Mann - Ha Ha Said The Clown
Cake - I Will Survive
Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
The Beatmasters - Ska Train
France Gall - Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son
U2 - One
.......
with your MAXfm_v5 preset and as alternative with my TranS-EnhanCe Radio DR33 preset.
Of course you have to use the 'Load' dialogue for your preset before playing every title step by step instead of 'Recent Preset Files' (to have a clean initialization of the processing - this might be a bug) !
To have a fair comparison you have to proceed in practice this way:
1. Stop all playback
2. Load preset
3. Start playback
4. Stop playback
5. Load Preset
6. Start playback
and so on
Do you still believe in Pre Amp + AGC ?
You don't have to like the overall sound signature of my preset, but you cannot deny that it has a much better volume consistency (track internal and for playlists).
