Some use Squeezelite too they use free solution as in open source because they can't be bothered developing anything on their own . Alas the probability that , the test where somehow flawed or some settings where off is much greater than there being any real difference by real I mean an electroacoustical change vs a physhoacoustical change . Actual changed sound waves vs perceived changes .... Any published measurements ? I know that archimago has done software players but not mpd vs Squeezelite . There are others to . Any plausible mechanism to attribute these differences to ? Both MPD and Squeezelite are afaik real players ? I don't know MPD's history maybe I'm wrong . So I'm not getting at any of these softwares . They are not frauds like jplay pure sound amarra or any of these OS optimisation apps that are around ( there is one where confused people makes a mess of windows server in pursuit of happiness ). So a good second opinion would be most welcome ( also with dbt and if possible measurements ) there are thousands of anecdotes about this subject , but they are as usual not information about whether this difference exists at all. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
