Some people asked me this question for a few times, some even mistook it as Fidelizer error so allow me to elaborate why this happens. Using foobar2000 + wasapi is optional recommendation for bit-perfect playback. I believe you may also need to learn about bit-perfect playback and exclusive access for why error happens. Using WASAPI exclusive will need to have audio…

Measuring digital audio qualities of bit-perfect playback with Diffmaker’s correlation depth

Windows X — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 16:45:15 +0000

It’s been a challenge to measure digital audio’s qualities and most of the time audiophiles don’t know any measurement outside RMAA’s analog metrics and got failed evaluations as you can see below: This was done through pure software environment using VB-Audio Virtual Cable to make sure no hardware’s error is involved. After lengthy research in pro audio’s communities, I found DiffMaker being used in…

ABX test files for bit-perfect audio optimizations

Windows X — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 11:10:44 +0000

As some people requested me for ABX files to test with DBT (double blind test), I recorded again today and made two separated files for testing purpose below. http://www.mediafire.com/download/9wjjmg7b24m41kk I recommend Foobar2000 with ABX Comparator component). Personally, I find DBT as a method to measure human’s hearing rather than the equipment as some people who fail Tidal test, MP3/FLAC doesn’t mean MP3 is as good as FLAC.

The test is very simple, I setup bit-perfect playback, play music, optimize, and play again. Here is information about test equipment Sound recording device: Oppo Find7s (CM13 with built-in Sound Recorder) Test machine: Dad’s common Desktop PC with Intel…
