Setting up Foobar2000 and JRiver is straightforward. KS, UltraStream, 20 Hz (40 Hz didn’t work with the Hugo 2), and 1s sounded great as well (warmer).WASAPI, Engine: Classic, DAC Link: 40 Hz, PC Buffer: 1s, rest at default.WASAPI (push) had this uneasiness to the sound while Kernel Streaming seemed a bit tonally-lifted and glassy.

After extended listening sessions (ASIO, Kernel Streaming, etc), the following software configurations sounded the best in my system:

JPLAY looked a little bit daunting to install so I’ve avoided it for the past half year or so. I’ve always used Foobar in the past (quick and easy) and have recommended JRiver to plenty of friends.

Is it possible for two bit-perfect players to sound different? Only in audio would a piece of software be called a hoax lol. I’m not one for drama and didn’t care to read any of the reports or test results.

Essentially, I don’t really care which sounds best. Well – because I love you…I’ll dust off my old PC and do some digging.Īside from Roon, I haven’t used any of these players heavily nor do I plan to. I’ve been kindly asked by readers to compare these players. When I’m on the go, I just plug in my Chord Hugo 2 and stream off Spotify or Tidal. Understandably, there are plenty of audiophiles who use their Windows machines as their server/streamer.
