I have just installed a dual boot 8.1/XP package on my PC and is astonished by how much more open and musical XP handles replay.
This is with Foobar playing DSD native and PCM to DSD 128. The hardware is identical.
Unfortunately I cannot compare KS versus DoP in XP as there is a conflict between this and the XMOS Driver, resulting in Foobar not being able to change sample rates automatically or start with the first press of Play! This only happens with USB audio and has had me puzzled for sometime. If anyone knows of a FIX, please post.
