  1. Well I just looked at your Pro ... Join Date Apr 2009 Location Denmark Posts 55 ...and then I looked at Audio_ELF's ... Join Date Mar 2009 Location Middle Earth... sorry mean Middle of England. Posts 6,166 So I don't think sshd is wasting his/her time ... "really"! But Audio_ELF .... if he ain't already, Connaker needs to start chargin' you rent, 'lectric, water, and especially SEWAGE. Friggin' forum lifers .... yer all da freeloadin' same!
  2. Per the CONTEXT of the original post, your counter-queries and methodologies are ABSURD. "Does it really matter?" LOL!!!! That wins the STOOPID question of the Century Award!! Dude... It matters 'cause if it's reported, the developer can focus on a potential path to MORE/FURTHER tweaks on the SAME developmental line. Even if the original "tweak" was purely accidental or serendipitious. "But there really is an easy way to answer your question or at least zoom in on the answer[insert long/dumb trial/error procedure]." LOL again .... that's really easy? IAC 1, one cannot effectively "ABX" per your labor-intensive "design". IAC 2, that's really WAY too much work. Really. IAC 3, HA is God and Foobar is his Prophet. Yada yada.
  3. Your reply is confusing for myriad concurrent reasons. E.g., why are you referencing a 3rd party site (Well Tempered Computer)? Also, One and a half (above) noted the same thing ... why repeat his content? If you want to convey your support for Foobar/HA, please reference content directly from THOSE sites.Thx!
  4. Thx for your comments! Again, I won't post this at HA for the reasons stated in OP. There may be other factors at HA that keep them dumbed down ... including: politics, $$ (donor funding from "objectivist" community), etc. Maybe one or two F2K developers are operating in the real world and somehow snuk in that nice tweak in the last update. Or it's 1000 monkeys with typewriters effect I'm not sure Foobar developers are the same as HA founders (or its spear carriers). I do know that Foobar came out before HA. Foobar does have its own site. They should have their own forum, too.
  5. I realize that CA is not the official Foobar2000 member's forum. The official forum exists at HydrogenAudio.org (HA). Unfortunately, HA warned me that if I posted this topic on their forum, it would in violation of their TOS#8 and would be subject to deletion unless, eg., I could offer some credible "scientific" basis -- eg., ABX -- for my query. I concur that I don't have credible "scientific" data to back up my query. And I do feel scientific data are important. But, as far as how precisely to keep the query HA-compliant ...well, I'm not sure how to proceed?!! So why bother posting at HA if the topic will be deleted by their mods ... right? The issue is simple: I just upgraded my version of Foobar from 1.19 to (the latest) 1.29, in my Win XP Pro system (I use an Asus Xonar XT card) ... and I noted a HUGE improvement in sound quality. I've seen the Change Log on the official Foobar2000 site but still cannot determine what may have led to my admittedly subjective evaluation. My original impetus for upgrading was totally unrelated to sonics ... specifically, I'd noted Foobar mysteriously begin maxing my CPU use. I tired a couple of things and then thought maybe upgrading to latest Foobar version may help. Subjective sonic change ( improvement ) was the LAST thing I was expecting as (based on myriad prev. Foobar updates), I had noticed NO sonic changes. But there the subjective improvement was after I opened the first music track ... just after v1.29 opened and began playback. And because I noticed the improvement right away, I qualify this improvement as more than subtle. My question is simple: what changes (between v. 1.19 and 1.29) may have caused the subjective sonic improvement I noticed? E.g., better interface with Asus drivers, etc. FYI: I don't use ASIO4AALL. I use Asus native drivers (in Foobar) as the 192k re-sampling via Xonar Audio Center, sounds best. Oh ... warning about stating that, too, at HA ... it can get your thread/topic deleted. Thanks for reading and considering my "non-scientific" query!
