[TOS #8] Foobars Incredible Sound Quality...

I read this is the FAQ section:
  " *  Q: Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?
    * A: No. Most of “sound quality differences” people “hear” are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). Foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now."

Are they? Maybe I'm just dreaming, but the sound has never been C L E A R E R --------

I've compared it to almost every other player QT, Quintesential (2nd place) , WMP, RP, etc...

I have pretty good hearing, it must be the player... I'm using an older Dell with an Aureal soundcard... I don't know, maybe it's all in my head. I must say I'm having troble configuring it (my inexperience) , but who cares with this sound...

any ops?
