Running dualPC JPLAY FEMTO setup, I've witnessed and enjoyed tremendous SQ improvements since last year when Windows Server 2019 was introduced (the first SQ cornerstone),  then JPLAY 7 (AKA Jplay Femto, the second SQ cornerstone) arrived with a blast.  New breakthroughs in SQ almost always come with technical challenges and I'd been struggling thru all hurdles to achieve the SQ benefits that these two giants brought to the computer audio community.  Along the way, there have been other proven hardware components added that helped contribute to the overall increase in music enjoyment (JCAT NIC, control points, vibration and EMI/RFI control, cables, MUTEC/SOtM DDC, LPSU, optimized router/switch/AP).

Today I'd like to talk about the latest significant SQ cornerstone, AO3 or Audiophile Optimizer 3.0.  It's a sophisticated audiophile optimizer that offers:

 

1/ Ease of installation, customization, and use:  there's an up to date, detailed, in-depth, accurate PDF manual.  I just need to read thru it, follow the instructions, and things (OS setup and optimization, fantastic SQ) happen as expected.

 

2/  Rich and powerful features:  AO3 walks me thru seemingly tough tasks such as DAC/DDC driver installation, desirable KS and WASAPI injection, custom startup script execution, and more, making them seamless, effective, and producing predictable results.

 

3/ Sound quality:  Before even starting/attempting to repeat what other AO3 and JPLAY fans (in my case) are going gaga about how SENSATIONAL GOOD their systems are now sounding after the official AO3 installed and optimizing their setups, I can just say two things: a/ Their passionate superlatives are all true, I attest to that and more.  Those guys are most difficult to be satisfied audiophiles whom I've been honored to know, and admire, and learn a lot from.  b/ Words alone can't completely describe what the difference the AO3 makes to numerous systems regardless of costs and components.  As fas as I know, AO3 works wonders for not only JPLAY but also many more music players (ROON, HQPLAYER, JRIVER), audio output modes and drivers (KS, WASAPI, ASIO), and different Windows versions.

 

In closing, I wanted to offer a friendly heads up to AO3 veteran or newbie users alike:  don't attempt to listen to your favorite music optimized by AO3 before going to a date, job or doctor's appointment or any engagement.  Chances are, you're likely to be late or totally miss it.  It happened to me, today.

So true!  Thanks for sharing the TT vs AO3 comparison.

"as 1 who isn't big on change and will never be the 1st in line"

 

What if it's a HUGE change?  And you won't be the 1st in line, as there are many others who have already joined the club and enjoyed the benefits.

 

WS19?  Great if you're after the best, otherwise W10 would be very good.  But AO3.0 is definitely a MUST and highly recommended.

 

[thuandb]

Wholeheartedly agreed.

Don’t waste it.  Try it on WS2019 GUI or Core (better).  Add Fidelizer 8.5 and it’s even better still.

Hi Phil & Claudia,

 

Several days ago I sent you both an email regarding a [redundant] purchase of 2 extra Activation Keys.  I have been patiently awaiting your response.  Please do reply, thank you.

Great advice!  I used to reinstall the OS before update and that could be a hassle.  Not anymore.

Very glad and happy to see everything going well with AudioPhil and AO.  I am about to purchase more AO activation keys (short term) and expect more breakthrough & game changing products (a bit longer term) from AudioPhil.  Best wishes!
