There was really nothing, no tone, or nothing meant other than trying to present some info. Nothing personal.
Nothing personal? What was this:
When it gets to this level of computer audio, some might consider you a "layperson. YMMV.
You don't tell your doctor he doesn't know anything about medicine. He can say that about you but not the other way around.
Core part of my professional expertise is operating system development. Everything you listed in that post are things that I have actually worked on in the Unix Kernel. I have taught classes on it and have author a book on the topic of optimizing Unix/OS:
All of this is listed in my signature on my background.
Then you proceed and call me a layperson?
It is disrespectful and incorrect.
You need to turn around your contributions on this forum to be constructive instead of protesting everything we are about in thread after thread.
You also ignore the answer to everything you bring up. You talked about learning being critical. Yet demonstrate no interest in learning from someone whose professional career was about the topic you are bringing. I asked you to explain what any of the bullets you listed mean. You did not address a single bullet explaining how it improves audio.
Ultimately as I said, you are acting like a lay person who takes anything called "optimizing" as being a good thing for audio. You are not alone. Countless audiophiles do that and it is natural. The topic is very advanced and no person not schooed in both audio and computer architecture can understand what it all means. So they go for the natural lay intuition to believe. They then do some faulty subjectively listening with that pre-bias and declare the work effective.
Do as you say, and try to learn and know more than them. Ask questions instead of asserting and then running away from the discussion. You won't get a better opportunity to understand the intersection of computers and audio than here. Use it instead of fighting us for the sake of fighting us.
