Foobar, someone could always write a better plugin, such as myself. Why is it better than HQPlayer? The plugin ability. I feel it is better because it offers you the ability to tailor the sound more. If the latter than you might se how this is as is as good if not better.
HQPLAYER WINDOWS PLUS
Plus out board Intona industrial 3.0, Regen, Rendu, ETC, Kernel windows+Audiophile Optimizer+Fidelizer. All the components are in separate “cavities” ETC. I am talking about a high end purpose built computer built computer with specialized audio noise reducing components powered by an outboard Hynes PSU. Go start your own thread if you have one. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I prefaced this thread with “my opinion”.
HQPLAYER WINDOWS SOFTWARE
There, I have just told the honest truth but no one will accept that.Īs for which type of hardware or software is better, that is really up to each individual. I have no clue why no one can accept that as an answer. So therefore I just go ahead and lie about my credentials. I mean, who is this guy to have two very expensive stereo systems? We cannot believe it. I feel that no one in this world takes me seriously.
This is the very reason I lie in the first place. On the other hand there is no reason to just go ahead and insult me either. I have spent hundreds of hours both breaking in and listening to both. Neither is the flavor of the day with me. You cannot automatically discount what I hear though and I certainly did not purchase either of these yesterday. Of course you are welcome to decide either way. You would have to hear them both to decide.
HQPLAYER WINDOWS PC
Some others agreed in another thread that my dedicated PC based server may very well be better than my heavily modified W20SE. I have been building and improving upon music servers for about 20 years already. I also certainly did not get it yesterday. I will give you, YMMV.īTW, I “never” “bought” Foobar. You obviously did read it because you quoted me. Foobar has been around longer than all other software! Not just Resampler-V but in combination with a lot of other stuff. No, I meant this “on” a purpose built music server! It is hardly flavor of the day or grandiose. You can use other software for that however. Where Foobar is sorely lacking is in the library functionality. A streamer is only as good as the software that it is running. On the other hand Jriver does not even come close to either one. I would like to know if Ted agrees or if he just uses it out of convenience? I feel for instance the SACD and Resampler-V plugins far surpass what is available in HQPlayer. If it is properly implemented it should easily take the likes of HQPlayer ETC. I also highly recommend using Audiophile Optimizer and Fidelizer with it. Until you have really heard it properly set up with all the right plugins. Of course I am speaking of none other than Foobar 2000. After that, you just might not ever look back. The downside is it has a steep learning curve and takes a few hours to set up. If you get the right plugins and set it up right the sound quality will not only surpass all other software, it should surpass all dedicated streamers as well.
