I found after version 20 to 21 the sound quality improves quite a lot, do you think audio 'enhancer ' software such as Fidelizer do further improve the sound?
No, as per Awesome Donkey's response.
Also besides features enhancements(must be many) from version 21 to version 26 do you think there is any more PERCEIVED audio enhancements to audio reproduction.
An honest opinion is most welcome. Thanks.
At least one user raved about the improved sound in MC26. But perception is subjective, so really it is up to the listener to decide. There have been some audio functional improvements since MC21, such as Sox and additional dithering options. The
Release Notes have the details, and there is at least one thread around here that discusses functional changes. One example:
