How can audiophiles continue to exist with knowledge being so easily available? And how can someone be clever enough to be a software engineer and not clever enough to figure out crystals in bags taped to cables do not affect music quality.

Just some nuggets from that thread:

"Sounds awesome, the previous version had a slight tendency to defuse the treble, but with VS2012 compile it is a much more complete sound with absolutely no digital harshness, some 16/44 albums I could hardly play before without getting a headache are now rendered in their full glory."

"It's just lazyness on the part of the player developers that they rely on the old methods, I guess they think bits are bits."

"Goto also sounds better than anything else I have tried." - the "Goto" in the quote means a goto in C used to replace a loop.

"also most players use malloc to get memory while new is the c++ method and sounds better."
