Quantum Open Architecture is the 'PC moment' for quantum computing — modular, plug-and-play stacks (chips, control, cryo fridges, software) that accelerate innovation, cut costs, and widen access.

Listening to these for the past 2 days. Still consider them one of my best sets. They were really overlooked and prejudged based on false premises. The frequency response graph is intimidating but misleading. Thick rich bass, organic natural mids, pleasant and musical.

"I find the Adonis New to be more of an L-shaped sound with a boosted bass region, a very 'present' and nicely rendered midrange as well as a completely non-offensive treble region that layers notes nicely with good note body..."

I'm out of control! 🤦‍♂️

QOA Adonis New Review

"The QOA Adonis New is the successor to the very popular QOA Adonis. It's a fun, bassy, but completely musical sound. Built well & Beautiful."

i have uploaded some music. i have done this year. in "qoa" format. enjoy this, because it won't be up for very long. #electronicmusic #qoa #vst2 https://ln5.sync.com/dl/b33076760#wbkqq2dk-ujm3z64t-2dxzk98t-k6k3b4k8 https://ln5.sync.com/dl/8c15c11b0#a37qe4s9-ruggqgms-v8zgbcah-538nkzfk

Version 0.1.1 of my XQATool is now released. This is my tool for creating/tagging/modifying Extended QOA Format audio files (XQAF).

Change log, source code, and Linux x86-64 AppImage are all here: https://nanako.mooo.com/fossil/xqatool/technote?name=0cc02a558fd11efc4dde9cf8618a8efdeb7d5674 #qoa #xqaf #LinuxAudio #CommonLisp

New blog post: "Introducing the Extended QOA Format for Audio"

https://remilia.sdf.org/blog/2025-06-14-a.html #LinuxAudio #qoa #CommonLisp #audio #lisp #blog

QoaToAiff 1.2 converter, with help of people from EAB and PPA.pl has 13% faster (and 28 bytes shorter) #QOA decoder, compared to v1.1. On my Amiga 1200 with 68020@28 MHz (ACA1221) stereo 44.1 kHz stream is decoded ×1.19 faster than realtime. It gives hope for realtime playback. Aminet upload pending.

Finally, Benben v0.6.0 is now released! 🎉 Enjoy listening to your music with an oldschool-inspired #tui and minimal resource usage ​:happyremi:​

Linux x86-64 AppImages, links to the manual, instructions for building from source, and the full changelog are here: https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/technote?name=55d45abe77896645681dce2de2dee3aeac349c17

Major new features include: #WavPack support, #QOA support, Commodore 64 SID support, remote control via the new remote-benben program, sending audio over TCP, and export to both WavPack and QOA. #benben #LinuxAudio #CrystalLang #benben #LinuxAudio #CrystalLang

So Benben can currently render files in parallel to WAV or Au. But starting with v0.6.0, you'll be able to also render to WavPack or QOA. WavPack rendering is already working at the moment, but no options are implemented yet, while QOA rendering is fully working.

https://chiselapp.com/user/MistressRemilia/repository/benben/

EDIT: the remaining options I intended to support for WavPack encoding have been added. The trunk code now has WavPack encoding enabled.

Here's a complete command line Quite OK Audio (QOA) format encoder and decoder I wrote tonight in about 525 lines using my RemiAudio library. This can encode/decode multiple files in parallel, too.

https://nanako.mooo.com/fossil/remiqoa

#CrystalLang #qoa

And now the trunk code in Benben supports QOA format playback ​:happyremi:​ Here's an example video where I encode an industrial song I wrote back in 2011 called "The Optic Nerve" to QOA, then play it with Benben.

The encoder and decoder here are both 100% Crystal.

I really enjoy studying file formats, potocols, encodings, specs.

Most recently I fell in love with "Quite OK Image format". It's lossless, close to PNG in terms of compression, super fast to en-/decode, and fits on one page! https://qoiformat.org/qoi-specification.pdf

There's also a related "Quite OK Audio format". but I can't yet wrap my head around how the LMS filter works.

Today, let's benchmark the #SerenityOS audio decoders! They are all pretty naive, though some of their underlying input streaming infrastructure is optimized.

Turns out that #QOA is such a good format it's 40% *faster* than raw PCM streaming.

Hmmm ... 🤔🧐

QOA - The Quite OK Audio Format: it's lossy, simple and quite OK https://qoaformat.org/ #audio #qoa

We're one hour after the publication of the #QuiteOkayAudio (#QOA) implementation and spec draft, and I'm already sketching out a SerenityOS implementation! :yakspeed:
