Audiophile Optimizer 2.0 beta 20 release.
After upgrading from AO 2.0 beta 18 to the latest beta available, and at the time of writing it is beta 20, I will say without any reservation that the new Audiophile Optimizer from Phil’s HighEnd-AudioPC (www.highend-audiopc.com) will move computer audio sound quality to a new high -- a bar that will be very hard, if not impossible to beat by any other tweaked or optimized computer audio software out today.
I did extensive listening to all different genres of music, and no matter which type of music I played through my Phil’s Audiophile Optimized Audio PC, the sound quality was improved far beyond what I was listening to 36 hours before.
The improvement that stood out foremost in my system was the following.
· Bass depth and articulation far better than previous versions
· Soundstage width, depth, and focus was a clear improvement.
· Cymbals had a clearer “sheen” that reminded you of how it sounded when sitting in the audience in close proximity to a great drummer like Jeff Hamilton playing.
· Live performance recordings were very involving, drawing you into the audience/crowd and feeling the energy around you.
· Piano keys hitting the strings had the weight and texture that had you paying attention to the entire range of the piano notes being played.
Folks, you will do your ears and system inestimable pleasure by getting the Audiophile Optimizer 2.0 as soon as it is released to the general public. I sincerely doubt you will be disappointed; rather, you'll be astounded at how great computer audio can sound.
The following albums were played during my review:
Andrew Lloyd Webber – Phantom of the Opera
Jessica Williams – Live at Yoshi Vol 1
The Fairfield Four – Standing in the Safety Zone
Eva Cassidy – Live at Blues Alley
Chris Botti – Live in Boston
Eric Clapton – Unplugged
Jennifer Warnes –Famous Blue Raincoat
Jacques Loussier – Plays Bach
Liz Wright – Salt
Patricia Barber – Café Blue
Sade – Lovers Live
Ramsey Lewis – Dance of the Soul
Michael Murray – An Organ Blaster (Telarc)
Bob Marley – Exodus (Mobile Fidelity)
