Are you kidding me?!
Why won't foobar2000 sound the SAME as any other player when you are using bit perfect (means ASIO or WASAPI)

???

Even do, some say all audio players should sound the same, software is still software and sometimes even a software application could be a surprise. Here's an old quote from a review.

Quote:

ESI: We generally believe that onboard DSP solutions on audiocards will soon be history. Solutions like VST plugins or DirectX effects are providing excellent results for professional and even ultra high end professional effects, based on native CPU processing. Modern PCs are easily fast enough to provide better sounding effects and software synthesizer sounds compared to current DSP solutions. Right now, we are just at the beginning of this development - in the future, there will be less and less DSP based products in the audio market and native processing solutions will get even more important.

Bottom line, the software tells the hardware how to do his job. If the software is badly codded, or some incompatibilities interfere with the process, well this lead to lower quality. When it comes to PC's or even Mac's it's not that simple as hitting the "Play" and "stop" button - a better tweaked/optimized application could give you a better experience.

A lot of skins are based on 9.5.2... guess I will be there for a while...

oh +1 for foo....

It can take a while to setup skin the way you want... but man it is nice when you do.
