How to Achieve Better Sound Quality
AURALiC recommend you to use a specific computer with ‘clean’ system to achieve best
listening experience. Installing a lot of software on operation system will increase the
system latency and degrade sound quality.
ARK MX+’s Windows drivers include a specific ASIO driver, it is highly recommended to
use audiophile grade software (such as foobar2000, J.River Media Center) which support
ASIO output for bit-perfect playback.
Process a Windows system optimization will remarkably improve the sound quality. AU-
RALiC finds ‘CPlay’ with ‘cMP’ to be the best sounding playback software under Windows
system so far. Please refer to the following link:

If you run ARK MX+ under Apple Mac OS X system, we highly recommended you to use
‘CHANNEL D Pure Music’ playback software which allows for bit-perfect replay in OS X
system. Pure Music will greatly improve the sound quality of OS X system.
