It absolutely makes a difference.
Hi LR, getting back to this for a moment, when you say extensive testing, do you mean actual measurements or by ear?
I've seen some actual measurements testing done by
Achimago with JPlay and Fidelizer, which
they did show CPU processes reduced through the software, but nothing of measureable significance in relation to jitter, noise levels, distortion, etc.
Albeit not Audiophile Optimizer, but unless AO is coding something significantly different in their software than what Fidelizer/JPlay are doing then I find it fascinating that anyone is hearing anything different when test measurements are saying otherwise.
There were also no measureable differences between Windows 8 vs 10.
Now if there were measureable differences that could show proof of something of significance happening ~ I would definitely be interested in this software, but I can't see myself paying money for software that shows no notable differences through actual measurements.
It's not like tube rolling or cable swapping where the tones of the analog signals are being altered through different metallurgy and such ... the whole idea of this type of software is to make things sound better by reducing processes, but if by reducing processes shows no measureable differences than how can it be that people hear a difference?
