There is little reason to believe there is any relationship between accuracy
and price in audio software!

Last night I decided to pull out one of my favorite CDs and I was feeling
too lazy to swap a cable in order to use my CD player rather than playing it
in the computer. After trying the usual Apple and Microsoft suspects, I
pulled the CD up in the freebee Foobar which turned out to be the only
player at hand that didn't audibly distort the sound because I could disable
all of the DSP functions in the preferences.
