Popular Post ivan_s Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2019 I started using AO3 as a beta tester. My primary interest was to get it working on my computer transport connected to Lapmpi B7 DAC with WS2019 in core mode and compare it with WS2012 R2 core mode. I became a big fan of the AO 2.20 which significantly improved my digital audio (was previously a diehard analogue audiophile: TT & reeltape). I found that WS2019 significantly outperformed the WS2012 R2 even unoptimized in GUI mode. AO3 improved things further. As expected, I obtained the best results with WS2019 in core mode optimized with AO3. This setup, while still bit inferior to my analogue setup, is challenging it very seriously. I would say, the best tapes still sound a bit better, but with lots of material the digital (AO3 optimized) sounds actually better! The core mode is a pain in ass in terms of user control compared to, say ROON control (which works in WS2019 AO3 optimized as well), but the sound is a tiny bit better without the ROON. I wish to say, that I wouldn't be able to set up WS2019 in core mode without Phil's help. He was really great to provide the much needed assistance with WS2019 in core mode, where the AO3 is a very important ingredient in making it working. Great experience, everything works as desired! thuandb, AudioPhil and FelipeRolim 3 Link to comment
