i think av136 have most correct sound stage size, stability. v3.60.4 CC00 softness not true, make sound having a bit effect such as strong, power, its vocal not clean.

av200 has it all - best yet (not yet heard ses2) then have to reboot.
hi goon-heaven, did you change setting for MMCSS by reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Pro Audio ?
if yes, try restore to default:
Affinity: 0
Background Only: False
Clock Rate: 0x00002710 (1000)
GPU Priority: 8
Priority: 1
Scheduling Category: High
SFIO Priority: Normal
and test v3.60 xx, i've suspected this setting coz last versions rewriten code of function about MMCSS. thx.
Yes, differences were priority 8, and a couple of low-latency settings. Removed the low-latency settings, changed priority to 1 so as to match your settings, rebooted, lekt v3.60 still play once only requiring a reboot.
improved softness. think v3.61.2 rax better, sound much refined, balanced. i like its vibration.
v3.61 xx have good power, energy, all versions can give music having good feeling, emotion.
