but on the other hand, if other people like why stopping them? principally, i do not encourage "colouration" of music. *** my point is there are differences in those resampling plug-ins. together with number of other people, we did realized the differences in applying different bit/sampling rate without them realizing what i use.

i used foobar2k mainly to fulfill my curiosity in comparing both players.Īfter numerous testing, if u would read my earlier posting. Well, fyi i only sticked to WMP11 for music. This post has been edited by gac: Oct 16 2008, 02:27 PMįirst this is the Foobar2k Q&A, so we discussed all about fb2k right?įirst of all, i do agree with some of your points but in fact how many of us really undertstand music? even including myself. One thing, if u would to visit any hi-fi shop as u might realized that none of those speakers are place close to the wall. but mine on the left side and leaving 1 feet gap between the wall & subġ) 2) u need to try every position possible in order to get the best "point" but try to put it 3 feet up of your listening point/ear level.Ĥ) Placement of subwoofer is important & complex. (nearer u will get heavier bass/LFE)ģ) Rear speaker must be at the back of course. all MUST be "ear" levelĢ) All front speakers should be 1 feet away from your wall. but u cant try thisġ) LF, RF & CF try to put it 3 feet away from the listening point. I presume stuff like SRS, 3FX, CMSS, equalizer, etc are "colouring" agents SRC is not consider a "colouring" device.

One thing i learned, the speakers placement is significantly IMPORTANT whether is stereo or 5.1s. NOTE: well i m not degrading foobar2k or any other players, this is purely my view. Or perhaps different combination of hardware & software produced different result (i strongly believe so) but again, its all depend on "individual ears". Player Outlook/Visual - foobar2k (5-star!!!) User interface - WMP11 (b'coz WMP11 nothing to set!) Human tester = Myself, my wife, my buddy + GF, my 7 yrs old son & my 6 yrs old daugther. Listening Test = compare to my buddy's hifi set. Testing rigs = MY Gear (X-Fi Platinum Champion Series + Logitech z5500)

After much try & error, install, uninstall & such efforts testing, keep on testing, tweaking for hours.
