ASIO/ JRiver versus Windows Media

I have both and I think media player has a more forward sound more presence/midrange and ASIO/J River is more laid back in the midrange. I was wondering if you guys have any other observations that could be useful. I dont compress any audio I rip Lossless and I cant just use one or the other depending on the artist and I have found live albums sound better with windows so please leave your thoughts on this or a way around this. Thanks A-gon community!

no the test were to measure noise, signal fallout, drop signals, and noise on battery vs pluged in you know. The test had nothing to do with sound quality but those things add up to equal better sound.

they werent playing music just measuring which had the most extra measurable sound levels from internal components like fans screens hard drives and all the other noisy parts of a computer that could be measured through the usb along with all the 1 and 0,s. dell was the noisiest according to their test.

Interesting system. You obviously try to DIY the equipment at hand to get the best sound. MIT cables traditionally do not do well with low powered tube gear. I see you got a whooping 5 watts there. Your stand is DIY it looks pretty good.I would get the computer off the floor people can step or trip on it. If this is a dedicated space and you are the only one-I guest it is OK but it would look much cleaner. You spend alot of money on a system and you want it to look its best.If it sounds good to you that is all that matters. JMHO
