Strictly speaking, we are all audiophiles here, insofar as we all care deeply about sound. You may not care about science, and that's OK, but high-fidelity audio only exists because other people before you did. Granted, measurements can identify flaws that are too subtle for the ear to distinguish, and we all subjectively decide where that threshold lies. Music is subjective, sound quality is not. To call them dupes for buying things like AO is pretentious at best. Audiophiles don't CARE about your science, or what your spectrum analyzer says, or what YOUR ears tell YOU, only what THEIR ears tell THEM. You can't, because sound quality is subjective. Rd2rk Tell ya what, find proof that their claims are fraudulent, I'll pay the lawyer and we'll split the take. You are the one asserting something that is inconsistent with reason. Also if you believe in that stuff it is for you to prove it works not for us to prove it doesn't. Keep in mind I agree with what Drew was saying and also Chuck. Listen or not to a member but don't attack them. OK whether or not we agree with one another we don't attack anyone. My home stereo is still just that - stereo! Hey, Drew, I hope you're not as sensitive as Chuckebaby. As I stated early on, I'm not an audiophile by a long shot.

Some of those have to do with the processor interrupting what's happening in the DAW to process some background task in Windows that has nothing to do with the DAW. A DAW uses resources in lots of ways, and there's lots of ways to cause a DAW to crash. Rd2rk Chuckebaby - so sensitive! Drew - I get what you're saying, but the actual audio quality is not the only consideration. In a way they can't loose if you buy it the placebo effect will work for them even though noting is really improved. I would be very cautious of anything on the net that promises to make things better. I guess I should have taken your question on face value in the OP. On a modern system all things being equal I think what they are offering is selling coals to Newcastle.
It isn't about limiting resources for the rest of the system. Optimizing for quality audio playback is more about the quality of the playback gear. DAWs on the other hand demand as much system resources that are available. What I mean is playing back audio is not a strain on anything. The trouble is that DAW usage and quality playback of digital audio are to a great extent unrelated. I was hoping that someone had experience or knowledge, even second hand, of whether AO works with a DAW, as opposed to simple streaming applications, or if it shuts down services required for DAW functionality. Seems logical to me that the less unrelated tasks the CPU is performing, the better the application will perform. My question had nothing to do with AUDIO QUALITY, but with APPLICATION (DAW) PERFORMANCE and RELIABILITY.
