Support - (fb2k) / Re: Foobar2000 v2.* playback sound quality lower than v1.X
Last post by Globares -I wouldn't call the differences big, but it looks like you're writing about similar impressions to mine. I'd say that the v2 sound is "lighter", has shorter sound decay and worse sound stage (size is similar, but precision is worse). The differences may be driver related. If that's the reason you hear big difference you can try ASIO4ALL driver with 64bit v2. It used to be a very good driver, generally I don't recommend it today, but 64-bit version works quite good with f2k v2.The sound quality of Foobar2000 2.X is lower than version 1.X.I confirm. I have noticed the sound is quite different in v2 then in v1.6. It is not a subtle difference it is a big difference.
v1.6 is much softer, v2 sounds like there was some kind of limiter in the signal chain.
Windows 10/64 bit, ESI Juli@ ASIO, no bells and whistles just pure Foobar.
