Agree with Aleg...
Never say never, but 5.14 is hard to beat, IMO. It is so good, and natural, and it should be used as a reference to built all other variations of it to satisfy different formats and different containers.
I posted link to google drive, for 5.14 version, whoever missed to download it. It is on page 476, very last post.

Thanks Tony, like always, I'm the last one to find out! :(

Gordon, is there a possibility to get any of the latest versions in 32 bits (24/96 and 24/88)?
Rather not based on the latest versions.
I would say based on 5.14 which is still by far the best we've had.

Cheers

The reason I said "any of the latest versions" (by Gordon's choice) is that I know that Gordon doesn't prefer much 5.14! Since I'm still using vintage 2.71 for HiRez, I will be happy with anything newer I can get!

BTW I agree with 5.14. :))))

I know, but I can't understand why, as it is absolutely the most musical one, the only one ever capable of showing the finest musical nuances in a performance.
Most others "grunt" compared to 5.14. Certainly none of the newer versions have ever reached the level of subtleties shown by 5.14, however 'technically more advanced' they may be. In the end the proof of the pudding is in the eating and not the baking!!!

I wonder would Gordon consider fleshing out 5.14 to include all hires?
It would be nice to have a benchmark version to capture all the testing and effort.

Let's not forget us SSE2 laggards with 5.14 which we read so much good about, but have not been able to hear ourselves.

Yep, i3 4330 should be able to do the avx versions according to Intel
Instruction Set Extensions SSE4.1/4.2 AVX2.0
You may have to try a few of the tricks mentioned earlier.
