RE: Stereophile: Computer Audio Without Computers

I think Abe got it right when he stated that regardless of the computer or OS, a decent DAC's overall sonic character will be heard across all transports.

OSX and Windows do sound a little different from each other. Tweaking both operating systems can improve the sound. But remember, we are a hobby of small differences. Small differences to an average listener are big differences to us. I believe Robert Harley wrote an editorial in The Absolute Sound about this.

I also believe that one's system and taste will also influence what OS sounds best to a listener. I run both OSX and Windows on the same computer, and in my setup, I prefer Windows 8.1 64 with Fidelizer Pro 6.2. But OSX Yosemite with Audirvana Plus 2.X is not far behind.
