RE: So does bypassing CoreAudio make a big difference?

Let me tell you how I arrive that at these conclusions.

First, every component I own is colored in that it has a particular "house" sound. I have spoken to Dave Wilson numerous times about the fact that his speakers refelct what he likes in sound reproduction. I have no idea what is a less colored sounding speaker.

But in evaluating software, I prefer to listen to music that has not sounded right or good to me in the past besides my favorite reference recordings. Here is an example:

Schola Solensis performing Psallat Ecclesia 192/24 a capella music sounded somewhat hard with other software. Direct Mode/Integer eliminated the hardness or stridency I was previously hearing. I was placed closer to the voices with a greater ease and purity to the sound.
