The following test was done to compare the playback of two different media players - Samplitude and Foobar - on the same PC.
Do you think this test has any value or are there bottlenecks somewhere?
Digital signal was taken directly from spdif output.
Firtsly, it was acquired Samplitude's playback of a song - The Swedish jazz Kings "It's Right Here For You", song n.12 "melancholy Blues" 6,38 min. Secondly, the same song was acquired from Foobar playback (v.0.9.5.5).
Then, similar portions of the recording were cut at the same spot in order to play them back simoultaneously with opposite phases.
Conclusions: null test level at -94 db....therefore no difference between the two players!
On top of it, Samplitude played through ASIO, whereas Foobar through DS.
