Hi Peter,
shure - I don't mean any controls and I don't expect any "sound" controls - I use it only on a (max.) 1,25GB/s digital fiber optic output (laser). This is no standard, but everything sounds a little bit more perfect than any kind of cable connection ... And every kind of source sounds the same kind of "sound" like with cables - but a bit more perfect and more intensive ...
In my XP-test I can hear that XXHE sounds similar to the effect - i.e. - like a speaker-Q which value is to low. It sounds very exactly, but lower frequencies are "thin". Only (!) with XXHE. Not with any other software player, not with CD or SACD-Players.
Please give me a next advice ... This way with engine1 on XP it is on cPlay (44,1 kHz without upsampling).
Best regards
Thomas
