RE: Blind Test Results

Hey Scrith:

If you like Foobar with Directsound, I would try kernel streaming, and maybe even ASIO.

I was listening to Foobar2000 with ASIO last night (when I was turning on and off the convolver impulse Todd linked to) and I am still floored at just how resolving and enjoyable even the good old Foobar 0.8.3 sounds.

Anyways, I would never bash the new player without trying it, but the fact it has no ASIO support, and the trial is good for 6 to 15 MINUTES?!? I can't give a player a fair appraisal (and compare it to other players) in 6 bloody minutes.

I am also suspicious of some of the "Foobar haters" on that website. They don't mention HOW they are using Foobar. Even a program like Foobar can sound terrible in the wrong hands.

For all we know they're using waveout with $20 computer speakers.

Survey says? I'll read about it, but I won't waste time installing something with such a ridiculous trial period.

Just my $.02

Cheers,
Presto
