Hi SBKG I tried your player and it sounds really good. MQn/WASAPI/HDMI definitely sounds better than foobar/WASAPI/HDMI. The difference between MQn/WASAPI/HDMI and Squeezelite/KS/HDMI is very subtle (to me, on my system). And I'm not sure yet which one I prefer from a sound quality perspective. But given the abilities of a fully functional Squeezebox, I'll stay with Squeezelite for now. Squeezelite is the only player I know which is able to address my KS/HDMI drivers. This makes it impossible to compare with other players. And I can't really try USB due to a lack of a quality cable. Everything I've listened to sounds inferior to HDMI (with my DAC). Keep on the good work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98374 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
