And I suppose at least part of them should work in other NG models, too... So, even if OS update kits for other models were never published, a Tabor could be used as 'emergency update package' for those !-).
I would sincerely advise against such an attempt.
First, you would be breaking your license terms, since one copy of the OS is meant for one machine and should not be copied to other ones.
Second, you would be completely on our own, nobody here would be able to help you out if you start mixing different parts of different OS updates for different machines. And you
would most likely be needing help very soon if you tried. Not least for the Tabor, many modules are quite different from those for other architectures.
Anyway, my best guess would be that once a Tabor version of OS4 is ready for release, the same level would be released for the other platforms as well (not necessarily for free, but still).
Wouldn't a mp3 file be suited better for such tests?
Maybe, but I'm not familiar with audio formats and how they differ from each others... Audio is not my strongest area.
I'd definitely also recommend using MP3 or even WAV or AIFF for such comparisons. Once sound gets encoded together with video or in other formats where small size is more important than quality, you can get all sorts of deteriorations of the sound. I would even imagine that you could see (hear) some of them on some hardware/driver combos and not on others.
Best regards,

But if an Envy24HT card gives in a X1000 a clean sound but shows this 's-issue' in my X5000 (but only with OS4.1), what can we conlude from that...?!
