For some reason Vox seems to forget on restart which Sonarworks preset I'm using so that, if I don't select the preset before playback, the sound is way too loud. The 320k just sound just a bit richer and fuller compared to 256k. I can't seem to notice a difference between lossless and 320k but I do think I notice a bit of difference between 256k and 320k.

It's great to know I can now use Sonarworks but there's a problem. I imported a song (Creedence Clearwater Revival - Walk on the Water) in ALAC, 256kbps and 320kbps. This was a big issue for me in the past because I have become accustomed to using Sonarworks with my HD 650's. I should also add that I somehow missed the in-built ability for Vox to use Audio Units. My wife also agrees, even although she dislikes headphones generally. I've tried Vox in the past and, although I was a big fan of the interface, it didn't seem to have the resolution of JRMC. I have no idea why this should be the case. There's more detail, it's smoother & less fatigueing. I downloaded Vox to use until I finally do the big re-install (big because I have custom views set up that aren't simple to set up). It broke again last week and I just can't be bothered fixing it.

I have been using JRMC as my player of choice for a few years now and, because it's an old version (and a Windows port to boot) it 'breaks' occasionally. Something strange has happened to my listening experience over the last few days. It has the same minimalist approach as StealthAudioPlayer, but without the playlist hiccups.I'm re-posting this from another thread. If you're going against the WASAPI route and just want a simple DirectSound player with great sound, I strongly recommend MesonPlayer. Winamp with Maiko WASAPI output plugin (best interface of the bunch IMO, but Maiko is somewhat unstable and the sound is just a little off to my ears) StealthAudioPlayer (strong contender for best sound, but zero interface and unreliable playlist management) YMMV, but I think you'll always do best to play music through WASAPI or ASIO, so your (free) options are: Having that said, MusicBee sounds great to my ears. I'm among the people that DON'T believe all 'bit-perfect' players sound the same.

WASAPI and ASIO support, nice skin out of the box, plugin support (via Winamp Plugins, but you can use the Winamp VST plugin to expand on this), and it's a reliable performer. if you just like to cue up music and keep it simple this is the media player for you. I find that Lilith did sound better than the rest of the media players that i tried but I don't know why but the imperfections in the music that i hear in Foobar/J River are not there. For my test i took the music files that i have that i found (sounded funny, bad recording file) in foobar and j river and played them in Lilith. However when you go inside a playlist the album artwork is displayed correctly for each song. Lilith Audio Player - I found this media player on the head fi Forums and red the thread and found that there was great controversy about people saying that it sounded better than other media players, so i gave it a shot to see if i could hear a difference. iPhone Music App playlist album art is correct for the first 15 playlists then starts repeating the first 15 playlist artwork over and over again. J River - Loved the way it organized and played your music and videos, didn't like the auto check and some of the functions.mostly the 60$ price tag.įoobar 2k - I like foobar, thou it takes some learning curve to use foobar properly, there is really no end to how far you can modify this program to tailor it to your music needs (other than death), but foobar does not play video and i find that it does not do good with lower quality recordings (had the same issue with J River)

The best part of Winamp has to be milkdrop visualizations and with a add-on milkdrop can be used in Foobar. Winamp - Even in retirement Winamp is still "whipping the lamas ass!" used Winamp for years and still do on my smart phone. Prefer to listen to music on other players thou. VLC - Greatest video player ever there really is no video format that this this will not play. Windows Media Player - Great if you want to watch movies and play music but that's about it. Here are some of my findings for some of the different media players i have tried. I have, tried, tinkered, modified,put add-on's, skinned, listened to, watched so many media players threw the years now, to me each one has its advantages and disadvantages. A couple years ago now i started this exact quest to find the best media players and found that no one program does everything well.
