> found that a function called memcpy was the culprit, most memory players use memcpy and this is one of the reasons why memory play sounds worse ie digital sounding. Fortunately there is an optimised version of memcpy from http://www.agner.org/optimize/ http://www.agner.org/optimize/, using this version removes the hard edge produced by memcpy.

- zbuf 5y agoThe trouble with this threads is they straddle a gaping chasm between complete delusion, or amazing trolling. Just imagine if stuff was like this though and computing were more 'analogue' -- each of those 15 layers of JavaScript transpiling just degraded the quality of the end result slightly.
- spookthesunset 5y agoI have such a hard time imagining that thread being serious. Poe's law is in effect. Like seriously. What is going on with that thread?
- detaro 5y agoReally weird things happen with half-knowledge and fixed ideas built on it. If you "know" it'll sound different, it will sound different to you. Combine that with actual, unrelated variations and maybe a bug that fits the pattern at some point...
