QUOTE(gac @ Oct 15 2008, 06:30 PM) huh resources hungry monster... i always thought foobar2k is lesser than WMP  the plugin is resource hungry, not the player..
Added on October 15, 2008, 8:18 pmQUOTE(jsliau @ Oct 15 2008, 07:08 PM) This thread is useful. I have my edifier s530d speaker pair with my Asus xonar d2x with equalizer on previously. I keep feeling there is something missing. After l have read this thread...i turn all the effect off and have secret rabbit sample all to 44.1khz....god! I can hear every detail of the music. it just well balanced. if you venture outside this section, you'll find more.. This post has been edited by fariz: Oct 15 2008, 08:18 PM |

QUOTE(gac @ Oct 15 2008, 09:27 PM) i m still debating on the quality for WMP & foobar2k...... hard to differentiate. i keep on repeatedly listening to one song.  QUOTE Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?
No. Most of “sound quality differences” people “hear” are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now. |

QUOTE(Dry Pillow @ Oct 19 2008, 08:11 PM) I tried using the resampler and set it at 96khz from normal 44khz, then I notice the sound bit different like... sounds bigger? That's what I heard The difference is more noticeable with high bit rate (320kbps) and lossless songs, while not so obvious on low bit rate's (192kbps and below) I would still say placebo effect.. do an abx test. |

QUOTE(andrekua @ Oct 20 2008, 12:39 AM) Not placebo. It does sound different. I too have tested 96KHz 24bit. Somehow it sound different from 24bit 48KHz. The difference is very subtle, it make it sound a little bit airy. Vocal and instruments are all the same. White noise due to resampling again? Who knows... do a blind test.. ask someone else to change the setting for you |

I'm using Convolver with impulses that emulate analogue tubes and Advanced Limiter at the end of the DSP chain

QUOTE(gac @ Nov 8 2008, 12:38 PM) how do i display chinese character from CDs... i tried tagging with freedb but it come out crap. Most likely, you'll need to adjust your playlist font to something which works with unicode characters. Most people would recommend Arial Unicode MS. And don't forget to enable asian support in regional settings. |

QUOTE(Angel of Deth @ Nov 13 2008, 04:58 PM) Yes i have try WASAPI, still i dont know which one is better. I guess ASIO because its more popular here. I set my sound properties to 24-bit 192kHz..is it wrong configuration? if you didn't hear any improvement.. why go to all the trouble changing the output.. trust your ears. |
