RE: If Bert Doppenberg and crew are interested I am too!

Dawnrazor, Ive read a lot of your posts, and consider you to be both reasonable and knowledgeable, but consider this.

>>Call me weird, but I would rather spend a weekend creating the look of a player and messing with output options a plugins, than paying for a player that wont install and I have to post on some forum just to get it >>to install.>>

If you are willing to spend a weekend fussing with Foobar, why not spend a little time with XXHighEnd, I doubt if it would take anywhere near a weekend. After all, it is still in the very first stages of release, and glitches should be expected.

>>I am all for a simple player that non-pc people can use. In fact we as a PC audio community really need such a thing. So far, at least for me XX Highend is not it, since it doesnt even play.>>

There are a lot of folks who have gotten it to run, some have a whole lot less technical savvy than yourself, so I don't think it's fair to say it "doesn't even play", obviously it does. It might be fair to say that your one attempt to get it to run was unsuccessful.

Who knows, possibly you have deleted or disabled parts of your operating system, in order to make Foobar work, that it is interfering with the installation of XXHighEnd. I really don't know, but if you had a problem you might have given Peter a shot to straighten it out before giving up.

I've done quite a bit of reading on Peters forum, and come to a couple of conclusions. One, it is not a finished product. Word had gotten out, and Peter was being urged by many to release it. Apparently it is good enough to allow folks to enjoy it, but there are still a few problems. The other is that when problems are pointed out Peter doesn't seem to get defensive, but sees it as an opportunity to improve it. At least that is my take, a little hard to understand because English is a 2nd language for him, however his English is MUCH better than my Dutch (or whatever).

The gist is, I don't know what it sounds like because my system is not ready yet. I just want people on this forum, who do have a lot of knowledge, to give it a fair shot, and report back. I don't think half hearted attempts, and outright dismissals are constructive.
