I'm on Windows 10 and can't hear any difference, if I use my Topping D10 with Direct Sound or with its ASIO driver. Are there any measurements out there? Cheers.
Does ASIO or WASAPI really optimize sound quality?
Jun 23, 2021 · Does ASIO or WASAPI really optimize sound quality? I'm not an audio expert but I've noticed that these ''bit-perfect'' drivers improve sound in one way and worse in another, definition and accuracy improve (low latency) but sound vibe (so to speak) is a bit tiresome and ''forced''', Direct Sound...

Get the best sound quality in windows using wasapi
Nov 15, 2018 · I am still confused about the bit-perfect using usbdac in windows. I did some research and it looks like we need to either use asio or wasapi to bypass the windows system volume control.

Jun 26, 2022 · Apologies if I misunderstand and ask for clarification. Indeed you do misunderstand it completely. Windows Audio simply sees all audio devices.

It is well-known that some DSD titles are mastered at non-standard levels (e.g. Michael Jackson Thriller). 1-bit DSD data will be converted to 32/64-bit float with digital low pass to remove ultrasonic noise, this process can generate 0dBFS+ data.

Mar 1, 2016 · True. Even Foobar2000's WASAPI sets all the samples bit to whatever you selected. So if you set the bits to 16 bits without dithering, the 24 bit files under WASAPI gets decimated to 16 bits anyways so WASAPI doesn't even mean bit perfect in that case (just sample rate matches the file).

Nov 21, 2018 · Gonna have to add my comments on Glitchfree guide.
