In Reply to: Fidelizer---Not That Thrilled With It! posted by stereo5 on March 21, 2012 at 18:33:07:
All such products that attempt to "fix" timing problems in the data that is being sent to the DAC from the computer (and this is all they are doing, since the actual data should remain the same) are merely acting as a "band aid" for DACs that aren't able to ignore the timing of the incoming audio data.
If you believe you are hearing a sound improvement from your DAC due to programs such as Fidelizer, or cics memory player, or a special version of some audio driver, or a certain brand of operating system, or a certain USB cable, etc., it means that your DAC is highly sensitive to the timing of incoming data, which is indicative of a poor hardware design.
