Pure Player

[npetralias]

Very interesting, congratulations for your effort and results.
I have done the same on several DAC's and the benefits are more than obvious.
Unfortunately digital technology hardware vendors are not taking power supply very seriously yet... but i believe it's a matter of time.

Thanks, yes you are of the same mindset as me but we are a minority voice, I'm afraid.

Forget about hardware vendors - they will mostly react to consumer demand Vs budgetary constraints. What is really depressing is the attitude of a lot of the vocal members on this forum. I have been attacked for giving advice on how to improve the Vbus supply for digital devices. I have been involved in too many such arguments to believe that manufacturers will make any pre-emptive action in this area. C'est la vie.

Let me know if you do these mods & your results.

 

[npetralias]

I really can't imagine a reason for attacking here. After all, anyone can try it and then write down his results, it's not philosophy

Anyway, i will try and tell you, thanks once again...

 

[jkeny]

Indeed, you are correct - go figure

 

[audiodesign]

Could you integrate in your player my window interface ?

the Player

I will give you all source in Visual C++

 

[npetralias]

I can't be sure yet but i will sure try.
If you like, i can give you also my C code.

 

[audiodesign]

You can use the video area (black) as folder view

The arrows buttons allow a very fast operation with touch screen PC

Any version for Linux coming soon?

[npetralias]

The core player (command line) is written in C and can be easily compiled for Linux but for a GUI i am afraid it's going to take long due to lack of time. If someone wants to give it a try please pm or email me to give him the code.

 

[woodturner-fran]

Wish i could do it but I just don't have the skills....

appreciate your efforts so far - it sounds very good.

Npetralias,
have you seen my source for the window interface ?

Should be very simple for you integrate it

 

[audiodesign]

Also for me the sound with Pureplayer is better than Foobar 2000.

I have tested only some 96KHz 24bit flac tracks.

 

[npetralias]

Version 2.0 is available here

Totally new look and functions, hopefully fewer bugs
Just replace the old files (if you have v1 installed) or just unzip the folder to C: and run PurePlayer.exe

Thanks

 

[jkeny]

Interface looks neat but it doesn't play Flac or WAV files for me - just says processing with play button staying at red & never going green. I'm using Win 7.

 

[npetralias]

Is it installed in a path without spaces? (ex. c:\pureplayer)

 

[jkeny]

I'm sorry, it is playing, Doh!!
Neat that it retains control in the Pureplayer screen now. Is it still using the same playback engine? Any changes? Does it still play >16/44 WAV by using SOX?

Well Done

 

[npetralias]

Yes with a few speed-up optimizations

Any changes?

A lot, some of them: wma support, french character support, CD drive auto detection, play-stop-next-prev and a lot of fixed bugs

Does it still play >16/44 WAV by using SOX?

Yes, i believe it's not that critical...

 

[Radugazon]

Wow, this time, Niko, it's no more a mock up !

I think too it has something more clear than foobar, but it's a liitle bit in the subjective domain.

great job

 

[woodturner-fran]

Lovely job. I'm really quite impressed with this.....

Something I noticed - it will play lower level wma fine, but not wma lossless.

Just letting you know!

Have you tried Foobar with WASAPI running from RAM drive?
