Popular Post ASRMichael Posted July 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2021 After a week of converting my library. I’m now sitting back & enjoying PGGB EQ. I’m interested to know what PGGB settings others are using? I’m using; Transparency Setting - Natural Presentation - Transparent HF Noise Filter. - Moderate In time I might use different settings for different genres! For now I’m sticking with the above. It’s not often an audiophile can say he’s completely happy and can sit back & enjoy the music. edwardsean, Zaphod Beeblebrox and sig8 2 1 Link to comment

But, yes the performance will degrade if you use virtual cores with PGGB too as it also increases the memory pressure. Overclocking definitely helps with performance and you will get even more performance if you can bump your RAM up by 32G more. I have a silent workstation, and it will shutdown due to overheating if I overclock with PGGB running, especially when gargle-blasting DSD. On my 4790k, which is a quad core, Auto shows 2 workers. (Auto (2)) If I manually set it to 4, I swear it says 2 workers as it flies by in the processing window.

With Hyperthreading on - I have 8 cores. Thanks for pointing out, the API I used always provides the logical cores which I divide by two (on windows). With Hyper threading you are able to treat on physical core as two virtual cores. While this is helpful for some applications, it does not help PGGB in speeding up. But in the case of @loworbit since there is no hyperthreading, logical and physical cores are both 8 and dividing by 2 like I do on windows reduces the workers to 4. I am aware of the issue and I have already switched to a different API call on windows to detect the correct number of physical cores.

You have nothing to loose. Complete game changer! I’m I believe from ZB if enough interest this feature will be added to up & coming releases. PM for details. Thanks for the many feedback I have received from beta testers, I have automated the process of using EQ within the gargle-blasting workflow! I just released version 2.0.42 of PGGB that now adds a PGGB-EQ tab. Please see here for the full release notes. Also refer PGGB-EQ section of the guide to know more about PGGB-EQ. PGGB-EQ is both for Room correction and Headphones. I have also added a Headphone-EQ section from where you can download PGGB-optimized headphone EQ filters for select models for use with PGGB-EQ. Since Headphone EQ is personal, YMMV applies. I plan to expand this section based on feedback and feel free to submit a EQ that works for your headphone fi wish to share it.

Popular Post WilliamWykeham Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 One of the things I appreciate about PGGB is that I can compare two tracks to see if my preferences are simply manifestations of my expectations or if they were observed in reality. I compared four 32FS Joni Mitchell tracks from Blue to the same four at 16FS. This comparison was as close to blind as I could get - the tracks were played randomly in HQP. It’s possible that there could be some time delay that happens between a change of sample rates - but if not then this comparison is pretty legit. The difference was immediately noticeable to me. I thought the 32FS sounded both more three dimensional, which is the way I think about live analog music, and more bright than at 16FS. The extra bit of brightness I don’t think is necessarily a bad thing. When I attend a live quartet performance I’m often jolted by the bright stridency of live string instruments, and it takes a few minutes to adjust. Also, my Holo May dac now has 1,000 hours on it and I don’t notice as much brightness, possibly because of some change in the dac or from my ears adjusting. I should go back and do some more testing, but don’t have motivation or time right now. Please note that when I say bright, it is very subtle and not apparent on all albums. I was able to tell immediately with Blue in each of 8 instances whether I was listening at 16FS or 32FS. I became bored and loaded another album, The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree. With this presumably digitally recorded album, whose sound quality I’ve never been quite satisfied with, I had a much harder time differentiating 16FS from 32FS. This faltering discernment on my part led to some consternation, which led to some obsession. I made 32 attempts and got 20 correct, for a success rate of 62%. Next I decided to focus on one particular musical quality, and I decided that would be bass transients. I was just barely able to tell, with extreme focus, how at 32 FS the bass struck its initial sound with more impact. My success rate improved to 75%, getting 12/16 correct. Optimally I would have decided pre-listen at what point I would stop the tests, to reduce my bias. Now listening to this album at 32FS on my fully burned in dac (and with some newly added room treatment) I can finally get past, or perhaps appreciate, the recording quality. Since performing these tests I’ve listened to more albums and decided that PGGB was worth it, even though I have no local music albums other than a handful. The Holo May is a real winner with PGGB. I hope more May owners chime in with their experiences. llamaluv, lwr and Zaphod Beeblebrox 1 2 Link to comment

edwardsean Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Just wanted to add that I’ve been using the new version since it was released, and if I’m not mistaken, I am getting faster processing times. I’m just on a MacBook Pro/Bootcamp 16Gb Ram for PGGB. So, I’ve been tossing about the idea of building a dedicated machine. There were times when the progress bar on PGGB would just stop in place for a couple minutes (probably b/c my low RAM I imagine). I know you shouldn’t watch the progress bar. It’s like watching paint dry or a pot full of water waiting to boil. But, since the new build I happily take glances to see it churning right along. ZB, is the new build a bit faster, or is the difference just other changes in what I’m processing? If the code has been tightened, can we expect little bumps in processing efficiency over the course of future updates? Thanks! Link to comment
Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If you are running windows, yes you may see a bump because the Auto (workers) is more accurate now so the heuristics use the right number of parallel threads if HT is disabled. This will be most noticeable for 1FS or 2FS input files.

Fourlegs Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Are any PGGB users out there using an Innuos streamer? Or if you have an Innuos streamer are you thinking of trying PGGB? Well the Innuos 2.0.4 app can play up to PGGB 768 kHz files but the 2.0.5 update will temporarily lose this feature (see the explanation from Innuos below). Innuos need to do some work before reintroducing the ability to play up to 768 kHz files and they are prioritising the requests for features and debugging depending on how many people contact them about each bug or feature. Can I issue a plea therefore to Innuos owners to email Innuos at the email below to ask them to prioritise the reintroduction of being able to play PGGB / Remastero files? More people emailing will get it higher up the priority list! [email protected] PS. I am sticking with 2.0.4 rather than updating to 2.0.5 and will only update when the feature is reintroduced.

happybob Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Question on PGGB: If using PGGB gargle blasted files with noise shaping turned off - is there any difference between a 32 bit output and a 24 bit output other than the truncation of the bottom 8 bits for the 24 bit version? The reason I ask this is: I want to have one set of PGGB processed files for all of my use situations, and there are two primary uses: 1. Highend listening: PGGB files get played back directly (not via Roon) to an SRC-DX via USB and then out to an MScaler via dual SPDIF cables. The MScaler output goes to a Dave DAC via another set of dual SPDIF cables. In this scenario only 24 bits get sent to the MScaler. The MScaler then (unavoidably unfortunately) does a 3dB level adjust AND more importantly does its own noise shaping (can't disable this). The MScaler out to Dave is also 24 bits. So for this mode, either 32 bit or 24 bit "no noise shaping" is optimal, but does it matter which? 2. I use Roon for multiroom listening and need to have all Roon endpoints playback at 192KHz (long story). So in this mode, playback via Roon of the PGGB (705K or 768K) files must be downsampled by Roon to 192K. This means that some of the downsampled content will NOT be power-of-two downsamples. In this case, I'm wondering if having 32 bit PGGB files will allow for a better downsampling of say a 705K file to 192KHz (not power of 2) than will a 24 bit PGGB file? Thanks for any insights!

Yes, thanks! My main question though is if the difference between 32 and 24 bits (no noise shaping) is just truncation of the bottom 8 bits, or something different? Or is there ever any reason (other than saving space) to use 24 bits instead of 32 bits for “no noise reduction” PGGB gargle blasts? Link to comment
