Scott, dude, here's the problem:

Your system is clearly not resolving enough to reveal the differences between digital players.

A true Bay Area system! LOL.

You might try Foobar/WASAPI (or JRMC/WASAPI event style)I downloaded Foobar and thought I would give it a try.
Ron-It was "Big Hits" (High Tide and Green Grass). I love this album because it has lots of great songs. I just have to think the master tape is not very special. There is no bottom end to speak of as someone decided to roll-off that pesky old bass. The recording just sounds dated in a way that jazz recordings from the 1950s never sound. Maybe we should have had jazz recording engineers record the early rock recordings. The jazz recording engineers certainly knew how to lay down a great sound in a way that escaped early rock recordings for the most part.
Seriously. I would (figuratively) kill for the early Genesis catalog recorded in such a manner.Maybe we should have had jazz recording engineers record the early rock recordings. The jazz recording engineers certainly knew how to lay down a great sound in a way that escaped early rock recordings for the most part.
Gary, I don't have anythiing under the output preferences. There is just a box that is grayed out that says dither.
I do think the comparison is a bit unlucky.Will toslink sound different from coaxial digital?

this is why god makes Macs.
Isn't the comparison fair and identical if "bits in" and "bits out" is the only yardstick to measure the difference between toslink and coax or Pure Music and iTunes? You know that toslink sounds different from coax because something other than perfect bit transmissions (ie, jitter) clearly shows a difference that you can measure.
