what do you think of it, compared to winamp using the CD-reader plug-in? (playing CDs of course) lets not talk about mp3s or anything else for now
oh, have you guys tried the "enable 24-bit for audio cds" option? on one of my 24-bit (its not a HDCD but it says 24/96 mastering blah blah) I played it..and wahla! the noise floor was instantly lower and everything sounded "cleaner"...THEN again, after playing with it a bit, I realised that it might just be the CD playing softer than before. i turned it up and sure enough..more "hiss"..just like before. I don't know man. I'm getting confused by my ears. what're your opinions, for those who've tried?
(interestingly, the 24-bit option actually works on regular CDs too! try it! it sounds different when enabled or disabled..no matter what MS claims
