These are words invented by some PC users without any justification or basis. Optimisation in the engineering sense means something totally different. The case in point is simply the advocation of using 2 or 3 'optimising' software suites to get some sort of 'best' sound out of an OS. In Mercman's case, he didn't even use the vendor favoured OS in his review of 'AO'.

So what DOES it mean "in the engineering sense"? You've been making similar points at intervals for at least eight years - since (IIRC) cics first used the word on this forum - but have yet to put us right. You also, as here, seem to confuse what you feel is mis-use of the word with, again in your opinion, a process that is in and of itself flawed.
To help clarify the first point, I looked up "optimise" in the Collins Dictionary. The definition includes "to find the best compromise among several often conflicting requirements, as in engineering design".
Is that wrong? If so, why? If not, can the word not reasonably include configuring an OS, whether performed entry by entry (as with that team-effort, post-cics cMP2 slimming marathon), by Delphic pronouncement (as with your recent Reg-edit tips) or (for those with better things to do in life) buying a little program that more or less does it automatically? Seems everyone else feels it can.
Dunno why but I also looked up "snipe". Its definition includes "to criticize adversely a person or persons from a position of security".
WRT the second point, I repeat that the microRendu's OS was not "optimised" as in slimmed down from a commerical release but configured from the ground up as and only as an audio player. Mercman's finding that his mega-buck Sonore PSU may perform less than perfectly has nothing to do with whether or not he understands what "optimisation" is. That said, I agree with you, soundchekk and hfavandepas that it's likely a system-level issue that may be eased by BandAid filtering but not necessarily "fixed" by it.
I'll respond separately to hfavandepas' points.

like a friend of mine, the fmakster "doesn't hold the {fill in the blank} dictionary as any authority" when using language. :)

The use of Windows 10 Pro was intentional since many more people have Win 10 than Server 2012 or Server 2016. But I've told you this before.
My review clearly discussed that Server 2012, and better yet, Server 2016 could achieve superior results.
you insist on wireless,networks,and anti virus, your PC system cannot be said to be optimised for best audio replay quality.
I use a fancy Ethernet cable to connect my computer to my LAN and no antivirus software. Fred, you win. My computer isn't optimized, consider it "slimmed".

Your remote? How does it work?
Any computer on the LAN can be a remote. Even the computer that I am tying this on that is connected with an Ethernet cable to the router.
