I found these 4 digital audio players and wondered if anyone has experience
with their audio quality? Audio quality is most important to me.
AIMP
Spotify
VLC
Foobar 2000
Thanks

You listed VLC - Are you referring to the open-source VideoLAN Client media player, commonly called VLC?
Opened up, Help, and it says.
"VLC Media Player
3.0.21 Vetinari
VLC Media Player is free and open source Media Player, Encorder,
and Streamer made by the volumteers of the VideoLAN community."
I really don't know much, but it plays video and/or audio, depending
upon my windows 10 setting.
I have not looked any further.
A website reviewing half a dozen players stated AIMP excels at audio
quality, but at the end of the article mentioned Foobar 2000 as being
great with audiophiles. Confusing.

Thanks Chloe. May I ask what you are using now, or in the past?
I also just tried Foobar2000 and will compare it with VLC,
hopefully this evening. (Results may vary being system dependent.)
One thing I read is that Foobar bypasses the win 10 audio mixer/engine,
which from my understanding VLC does not. Can anyone verify either way?
Once again thanks Chloe. Looking forward to the experiment.
