The optimizations applied in version 2.7 build 2 were only related to the compression/decompression algorithm for the Emax-I.
The previous version caused distortion and clicks in the sound when sounds with high volumes/loudness were converted. This was especially true in the conversion from 16-bit to 8-bit.

The engine for EII is still the original one. It's not the same as the Emax-I engine. The principles are the same, but the actual mathematical curves are different. I have never experienced distortion problems in the EII conversions, and I didn't receive reports on it so far, so I didn't touch it :-)
But actually the new curves used for the Emax now also work fine for the EII.
