Signal Processing: 'Best SINC Interpolator' 44kHz Samplerate (in my case the sample width was set to 24 bit unsigned automatically - i didnt manually specify any sample width for encoding)

Post Processing:
 None

Player Settings:
 DSEE HX: Off (experimental)
 DC Phase Linearizer: Off (experimental)

Player Output Settings:
 -3 Decibal Gain set to: Off or On -- experimental
 Same as PCM Gain setting: Off or On -- experimental
 (some of the sophistication comes to play with the signal functions in the encoding.... the models used allow some play with turning off the suggested Decibal gain on the player with the ideal taste of how about the samples kind of pushing out some different bases of touch and feel in the music... moreso the decibal gain can remain the supposed some quality in the encoding is at the point of ruleing out same as pcm gain for some sort of usual-ness in the formats whereas the idea for "how the sound plays" is at much of the square of suggestives.... i suppose you get around in encoding a lot goes into the word "LEG OF HELL" or equarum ... so like where did i put my player hmmm ... nevermind its in my pocket .... that sort of "stuff")
