Believe me I know
I use pulse on top of jackd which is reasonably stable when you do it yourself.
I don´t use it, so it´s better you ask one of the other guys for a better evaluationI'm interested in how the Cinnamon tastes...is it good?

Whenever I play Hitman (2016) which has a native Linux client through Steam or Hitman 3/World of Assassination via Wine (but not proton for some reason).
The audio despite being the same speakers, same connection (3.5mm) becomes dynamic and I can hear a wider range of sounds, footsteps, etc. Than whenever I play any of these games on Windows.

In fact most sound video game sounds sound a lot better under Linux (music is unchanged). I tested on Linux Mint and Ubuntu (forgot the version numbers) about a year ago.
Whats Linux doing under the hood that makes it better than whatever MS is doing? (Realtek ALC1200)

Here you have two recordings that give a pretty good idea of how ALSA and OSS sound over an analogue connection.
Windows WASAPI(Bypass windows volume service resampler) + Foobar is the best for bitperfect playback and nothing holds a candle to it.

Foobar2000 has been a largely dead project for a long time.
Not sure what you mean by that. Peter does update it all the time, including plugins and keeps up with Windows API releases, fixing and speeding up code parts. You trust that piece of software.
Audio Drivers suck hard on Linux/BSD no OSS/ALSA can fix that, don't turn it into distro challenge or Linux vs BSD, save us from that nonsense. Only after drivers are fixed you can go splitting hairs about sound backends.

I've a mate who uses Mint debian edition and from what I've seen of it and the little bit of playing around on it it's bleeding great he used to use the Ubuntu edition but they're being dicks about flat packs and few other things he dislikes with a near blood vessel popping furyI'm interested in how the Cinnamon tastes...is it good?

The GXT 259 RUDOX mic is a lot better than my previous mic, but is not close to the level of detail and quality needed to accurately reproduce this Infinity system.
What is the most optimal microphone to make this type of recording?

When I play music on windows or Linux on this setup, +- 65% of the songs I play sound 'very good’.
However, when I play music on OpenBSD, 75% of the music sounds 'phenomenal'. Let's just say I can use my imagination to imagine how music might sound best.
OpenBSD + music player daemon takes the best I can think of and makes it ten times better.

But you realized that API is the official abbreviation for Application Programming Interface? There is no special system function or program behind. In general with the API you "Steer the underlying OS and Hardware. No? As i thought. To explain: An API is used in general between a Applicaation program and the underlying OS, and Hardware. So what this well defined fact has to do with your mass of senseless and useless words?I have the Infinity Alpha 5 + Sony STR-DB790 combination....
While you previously even argued that audio cannot differ in between audio backends, now you fully claim it does.
