It seems debatable

what the 'best' settings are. The SQ also varies with the particular OS used ie 8.1, 7 or Server (2008 to 2012R2).

Changing the various settings and observing the changes in SQ just goes to show that there is no such scenario as a universally best set of settings. Most of us cannot deal clearly with 7 factorial combinations, let alone the many combinations of settings under 'audio' and 'pro audio'. Thus the claim of a universally applicable optimal setting seems bogus.

Below there is a post claiming that the poster has an 'optimised' high power system playing FLAC!

For what it is worth, I find the best SQ with changes to the 'Audio' registry alone whereas there is good balance between clarity and bass quality, even playing 176/192/352k files. This is for one system only and likely to change with others. I prefer engaging MMCSS on this system.
