Rise of SQ on Win 11 with 2.9.3

Since latest 2.9.3 I observed a serious rise of SQ on Win 11.
Am I alone with this observation ?

Better than Linux? Just curious. For the moment I am with latest Mint.

I compare
A) Audirvana Windows 11 (with Fidelizer pro) -UPnP-> Aprenderer as Diretta host on Gentooplayer RPI5 -Diretta-> Holo Red Diretta Target on Gentooplayer
With
B) Audirvana Linux on AudioLinux as Diretta Host -Diretta-> Holo Red Diretta Target on Gentooplayer

The PC Fanless and RPI5 have good linear supply.

I really prefer A to B

It could be explained by the fact PC is a mini PC not quite powerfull.
It can really be system dependant…

But the rise of SQ is before and after new Audirvana Version.

Understand. Can you tell me please what version of Windows 11? Because I’m curious to listen myself. I know there are subjective facts so I will not blame you if will have another opinion. Thank you for answer and have a great listening time!

It’s the last update of Windows 11 pro
Disclaimer : A and B are really different over just System…
3 box on one, 2 on other, Fidelizer Pro on Windows,
super Condensator Ian Canada on RPI5
Usage of aprenderer…
It’s 2 very different use cases.
On Audiolinux 6.11 RT LTO
On RPI 5 6.11 CLTO Extrem RT EUP NOR,
same kernel on Holo Red
And I think I have perhaps
Processor issue with my PC which
depreciate Alsa Host and Audirvana Linux

Understand. Anyway thanks. Will make a backup of my linux drive and install the latest 11 pro next days. If the sq is not worth will stay wih Linux because it’s much better than MS$ imo. Note: I don’t use an audiophile edition, I use Linux Mint for general purposes. Right now I’m listening to AS and the sound is very good (DSD 128 upsampling A8, extreme ALSA optimisation).
