Does Audiophile Optimizer software in computer makes difference in sound quality?

Looking for experience observed when installed in computer, also optimization guide lines

It does. The difference may or may not be perceivable to everyone.

If you are talking about the well talked about optimizer software, AFAIK there is no need for guidelines. There is documentation that you can simply follow.

I haven't used audiophile optimizer, but I use another pc optimization software that also comes with its own interpolator. It is called xxhighend and it sounds fantastic.

Xxhighend is very good. I have used it in the past. Similarly there are innumerable tweaks to Windows OS including running an exclusive stripped version either as standalone or as a separate boot partition to

I will explore Xxhighend and try to observe difference in sound quality. Thanks for information.

Please try member @keith_correa optimisation software for Windows. In my experience it works better than Audiophile Optimizer. It drastically reduces noise floor while not having weird behaviours like AO.

It's NLA. There is some amount of knowledge needed about the working of Windows to configure it and understandably not everyone has that knowledge so...

I am using Fidelizer Pro 8.8. I asked Nikhil before purchasing it and he too has a good experience if I'm not wrong.

In my setup I did hear noticeable improvement when I first downloaded and restarted my system on purist settings.

Noise floor reduced significantly. Altho I have not done any extensive A-B with and without it.

It's half the price of AO. Altho you can use both together.

I made a setup tutorial for xxhighend here: https://www.hifivision.com/threads/tutorial-for-setting-up-xxhighend.84471/

I use it along with junilabs players file optimiser (I first optimize the files 3-5x then play it through xxhighend for best results)
