What I don't quite understand, you all say that sound quality is somehow better using this player.
Does that mean this player is not bit perfect?

the decoder play a big role somehow, and this is not a player. if you're using wasapi/asio on the player it would ensure on bit-perfect.
the difference is really hard to tell in something like laptop speaker though, i'm listening through my headphone. |

Somehow I'm not seeing how this connects together.

It's very unlikely for a lossless codec as e.g. FLAC because nothing has changed for a lossless codec. |

This player "sounds" better compared to others because it uses SoX up-sampling. Technically this means that not the original signal is send to the DAC.
On the other hand each decent DAC up-samples on it's own in the course of reconstructing the analog signal from the digital in order to smoothen the digital staircase. As it seems usually the SoX up-sampler outperforms the ones usually build-in into DACs. |

For a lossy codec things are a bit different: Now are the 32 bit floating point decoders enabled instead of 16 bit integer. This should improve sound quality. Maybe that's what naoan experience as more sibilance when listening to it for the first time because of improved reconstruction of heights from a lossy codec. |

That's what I do, in particular the SoX plugin for foobar2000.

Seems force seek doesn't work with xmplay, guess that's just the way it is for non-winamp player? Disabling Prefer Float option did the trick for hotter sounds though.
Edit: oh it's working for mp3, not working with flac. |
