Missing the option “No difference here”

I’m using WASAPI on Windows, and default options on my Mac. On my equipment I hear no difference between them. Now I don’t have expensive audiophile equipment. I don’t care for that, I listen to music.

My Windows laptop drives an Audiotrak Prodigy Cube 24/96 Black Edition sound card which is hooked up through a toslink optical cable connected to my old Philips FR 966 receiver. Which is connected to a pair of 60’s/70’s era Rank Arena speakers, which I got for free many years ago. They are backed up by a JVC subwoofer. But that one is set on a low volume, so barely adds anything to the mix.

My MacBook Air connects through Bluetooth to a set of Prosonus Eris E4.5 BT monitor speakers in the living room.

AS and 3.5 before it makes for excellent listening experiences on both systems. :smiley:

Also missing is the “Two tin cans and a length of wet string” option.

These quizzes are never any use, they’re rarely any better thought-out than the old quizzes in ‘Marie Claire’ or any other teen magazine, unfortunately, and tend merely to reflect the biases held by those starting them.

:wink:

Yeah, as already mentioned, where is the “no difference” option, eh?

When you’ll get your Mini, you’ll compare it to your PC, and then you’ll participate to your poll.
