a few listening sessions with mainly the previous setup with any one person finding this blog out can make some good going forward assumptions when trying to come up with the perfect type of custom setup for the signal function layout. mainly im listening to the previous setup right now with tool rock albums and my lpc and residual coding setting for the flac encoding are 12, auto, 0, 8 - (slider values inside the freac flac encoder window). the way im heading right now is pretty efficient although im not really trying too hard at aiming tirelessly at the window setups for the signal im trying some things out and heading right for listening whereas mainly i like my free time with the music. i will be making some more advancements and time will tell me some more about the signal inside the flac decoding with my sony walkman.
