Signal Processing Options Settings:
 No option set

Post Processing:
 None

Player Settings:
 DSEE HX: Off (experimental)
 DC Phase Linearizer: On (note: interesting .... this option on the player has a direct effectual correlation on the phones while music is playing with how situated the gauss and tukey functions are most appropriated to value in the encoding option set ... the play of the signal while there are gauss and tukey functions passed through allow this option to play a clearer role in the sound difference in the music coming out of the phone....)
 Revised Note: i turned this off over some time because the power to the phone
  gets slippy so i had to compromise. the nw-a55 just doesnt have a big
  power diaphram....

Second Revised Note:
 If you ever get confused over some time trying to encode with some of the options i present in this blog believe me its hard to get the function right so i mainly just try to assume one might have the time to experiement much like me but also i remind myself that it is a blog and one is to maintain the stay of what remains useable so insomuch i maintain i work out some of the quality issues in terms which is fitness and currently what is maintaining in what is presented in this current entry in the blog is that the window function list was revised about 5 times and i think i got a really good move on how the gauss and tukey functions moved about within the list. this encoding really pleases me and i hope it does for you too. finally i got something working where the quality and balance from the percussion to the guitar work get to a finer point ... yes this current entry of options is a really good mainstay to prime around with in your listening.... (note: if your using windows 10 and you encode with freac (...) the idea is that i must say linux keeps the quality a little different with how about the main of the experiment is to redeem itself with use of freac encoder program. in linux and and windows both operating systems assumably have a certain distinct differences in how the program is compiled and how the current manipulation of the signal within the core of the encoder is to represent the sound coming out of the headphone whereas i noticed first hand namely windows encodings sound a WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT than linux and i must say linux produces the better quality....)
