If Bert Doppenberg and crew are interested I am too!

I too at first was a little put off by the terms, but I've checked it out. I went to the BD design forum, and found quite a few interested in the XX HighEnd player.

I registered to the Phasure.com site and saw that Bert was involved in the testing of the player, and left an introduction (Bert wouldn't be involved in anything shady). So far my computer hasn't developed any "social diseases".

I don't know how many of you folks know about Bert Doppenberg and BD Design, but he is very well respected in the European audio scene, as well as from a lot of us on this side of the pond as well. He's been doing it for quite a while, no newcomer that's for sure. He also runs a Forum on his site that is very informative, and has always been very forthcoming with both help and advice (one of the audio good guys).

He and the folks that use his forum have very high end systems, and if they are interested, thats more than enough to get my attention. I think it's definately worth a look. If and when I finally get my system finished I'll give it a try.

Reasons not to try it:

#1 He won't tell you how it works....I don't blame him if I spent all that time developing a player, I wouldn't tell anybody how it works either.

#2 If you download it your computer will turn green and fall off... See above post

#3 If He's not using ASIO it can't sound good... Who knows whether he is or not, whatever he's doing, it sounds good to a lot of people with excellent systems and ears.

#4 He wants money for it, unlike Foobar... Foobar is such a.... well the name said it, you really just about have to be a software engineer (like many here) to make it work right. If XX HighEnd works, I see it as a real bargain, saving my poor brain from all the anxiety I would go through with Foobar.

Currently I'm building a DAC, PC based music server, new amps, and new speakers, amongst other more mundane and pressing projects. A daunting list of tasks maybe, but I see that as nothing compared to the trepidation I have about being able to install and configure Foobar, before losing whats left of my mind. Sure would be sweet if it works!
