Would the "Audiophile" subforum be more appropriate?

How did you compare? "Natural and relaxed" refers to human mind and
perception, not anything objectively verifiable or related to
electronics or acoustics.

I would like to first have some sort of objective verification that
there is an actual difference in sound, not just perception.

I just ran into this same issue except mine was working until I clicked
Jivelite update in the PcP web interface. Jivelite no longer starts when
I boot. The splash screen pops up briefly but then the screen goes
blank. Audio via HDMI is working. I tried a fresh install of PcP 8.1 but
still a no-go.
