Aug 30, 2026, 4:17 AM@JamminJerry @HOzosch @nick Oh what! I think his 19.1.3 sounds the best with base and clarity. His first 22 kHZ implementations lacked a bit base but he took care of that after receiving feedback.

@JamminJerry @HOzosch @nick I see! But if I'm not mistaken, it was changed because many people like me thought that it lacked mids and base.

@amir @HOzosch @nick t hat it very well might have. I don't honestly remember, but when highs are practically missing, or are muffled, I just keep coming back to my trusty 19.1 that sounds good at least my ears. if you have a link to this updated one you think is pretty good, I am willing to try it. I have the 19.1 I like if anything sounds off to me. smile.

@JamminJerry @amir @HOzosch Look, none of these are actually great audio science, they just have effects people find pleasant. 22 KHZ mode is genuinely a lie and I only named it that way because the community expected it to be called that, but that is *not* what we're actually doing here. The new HOzosch model is scientificly correct, even if less pleasing to some people's ears. I'm now thinking about hybrids.

@nick @amir @HOzosch well I am glad you clairified it, but I still think yours is good. I have heard ones that are just down right offle. I think for me, part of hi hearing might be going, so that is why a certain one works good for me, or I should say sounds better to me not because I think it is hi fadelity, or anything like that, but it maybe compinsates for what little loss of hearing my ears are doing. I just love the fact we have choices, as I believe choice is a very good thing. what works for one person might not be the best for someone else, and just because something is newer, and is an update, might not be the best for someone.

@JamminJerry @nick @HOzosch You can say that again!

@JamminJerry @amir @HOzosch In future, the 22 KHZ mode quality is going to be renamed 'Presence contour', regardless of my future plans for it. I genuinely don't like lying, and calling it 22 KHZ mode really is a fib.

@nick @JamminJerry @HOzosch Well, whatever you call it, please don't alter it! It sounds amazingly great regardless of the name.

@amir @JamminJerry @HOzosch Whatever I do going forward, you should be able to get the sound you have now. I'm thinking about giving you another option.

@nick @JamminJerry @HOzosch OK. Let's see how it'll be working out.

@nick @amir @HOzosch I just wish yours had some way of bringing up the highs a bit more. if I could do that, I would probibly change to yours as my default. like I said, yours does sound good. don't get me wrong, just the 19.1 has what my ears need. his 20.0 it went away, so my ears are unhappy, and that is why I kept the 19.1. that my ears really like. I know, I know. I sound like some picky audio snob, but trust me, I am not. far from it actually.

@JamminJerry @amir @HOzosch Actually, your issue is inspiring what i'm thinking of doing. I won't say more now.

Munchkinbearmunchkinbear@mastodon.stickbear.meAug 30, 2026, 6:00 AM@JamminJerry yup, I upgraded to v20 and holy balls, absolutely not. I cringed, hard. I just switched to this eloquence 64 RS thing and ok, sure it's missing some of the highs in 22KHZ mode, (yeah it lies about what it is, lol, so should be renamed), but it doesn't make me cringe and wonder what alternate universe I switched to, lol. oh, and note that v20's 11KHZ and 8KHZ modes also sound like garbage. Whatever was done to that release, I noped all the way out. lol. @nick @amir @HOzosch
