of course no one is going yo turn on Game Mode in both DAW or even CAS.
But anyway 1703 sounds really good, much better, sounds like the OS clock and HAL CPU interruption has been improved a lot, much more stable, even 0 jitters for me already, even when no any default services and drivers are disabled, perfect sound! I love that, I'm going to keep using 1703 until the fall update!
With load-balancing audio softwares and MMCSS that is the heaven! I'm afraid if it even sounds much better than Mac OS........
