winamp...because foobar doesnt look nice

[killuminati96]

I use Winamp with the "SRS WOW Thing!" audio enhancer. I run it from my pc into a powerful stereo system with subs. I also have a nice soundcard. The sound quality doesn't get much better (maybe a real powerful car sound system would be better but for pc this is more than good enough).

It is very irritating to see people saying Winamp or Foobar is good. I have tried both,but their sound is NOT AS GOOD as XMPlay.

Dont be ignorant or lazy,try XMPlay,it is free,small in size,good looking customable skin and it allows Bit-Perfect in Win Vista through the Wasapi output plugin which is better than Kernel Streaming and ASIO and but up till now only XMPlay has it.

Both ASIO and Kernel Straming still goes through the Wasapi interface. In computing language,the lesser the layer of abstractions or layers,the faster the code and this means lesser latency = more accurate sound

Last words ranking in sound quality reproduction

XMPlayer with WASAPI > Winamp with native ASIO driver not ASIO4ALL > Foobar2000 with either ASIO or Kernel Streaming

If you dont believe,test with your ears
