When I > have time I'll try to determine why that is so. The codecs and hardware will have an effect. Two differently engineered codecs for the same type of data can have different results (just the same as, long ago, some MP3 encoders were noticeably inferior to others). Likewise with the audio hardware. Given exactly the same data, some do a better job of turning into audio. There's also a difference between "better" and "nicer." From a purists point of view, better means *accurate* reproduction. Another person thinks it's nicer if they boost the bass &/or treble. That's *inaccurate*, and the problems compound when you use several things in tandem that have been tweaked. I have a pair of headphones with very boosted bass that turn good music into whumpy sound, they don't need something else doctoring the sound, as well. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.42.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 7 14:49:57 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
