Today my net was down all day. I was bored so I conducted some tests about audio optimizations on bit-perfect playback. The test is very simple, I setup bit-perfect playback, play music, optimize, and play again. Here is information about test equipment

Sound recording device: Oppo Find7s (CM13 with built-in Sound Recorder)
Test machine: Dad’s common Desktop PC with Intel i5 processor running Windows 10 Pro
Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
Software setup: foobar2000 with ASIO plugin (ReplayGain disabled)
Testing track: Britten: Simple Symphony, Op. 4 – TrondheimSolistene (2L – the Nordic Sound)
Output: Klipsch Promedia GMX A-2.1 speakers

After listening to the first performance, I’ll apply the following optimizations as below:

-Reduce output buffering from 1000ms to 50ms
-Increase full file buffering size for memory playback
-Run Fidelizer (free) on Extremist optimization level with foobar2000 as music player application

The recording was done in a single session without using any editing tool to ensure there’s no modification to the recording. Let us know what you think after listening to recorded performance.
