i dont hear any difference after installing wasapi =.=

compare to asio? or direct sound?
if compare to asio . they shall be very very similar.

nope compared to stock driver or direct sound?

if compare to direct sound.
it will show it's different especially on treble.
it will sounds much smoother.
soundstage is wider than direct sound.
=)

I don't think windows7 has kmixer effects like XP.

So ASIO should not sound any different than WAV.

never been sure about it. as i never tested it in win7.
but i heard a lot people reported that too.
but on window XP. the effect is very significant.

in win 7 i directly change to wasapi just to make sure there's no annoying MSN sound / window sound when i hear music.
yet when i unplug my DAC from computer and use notebook for work, i can still have those sounds.

hmm the difference is so small is not noticeable for me. maybe its cause of the hardware or source?

So which is better for usage in Win7 convenience wise? Mind you, I switch off ALL sounds from programs and system so it doesn't interfere with my music.

if it is very small.
then don't bother about it loh.
just enjoy ur song.

That's something new to me... though I've never properly tried to compare between using on Win7 or XP... sooooo I'm blurred as well regarding this. But, now I'm using DAC during listening, so the difference between using ASIO and the DAC output is really prominent. >_>

weird.. when running on asio.. it will solely play sounds from foobar and have everything else muted .. using windows 7 pro here..

i find a huge significant diff on asio with my system as i can put the buffer length to 50ms in foobar.. and asio4all's buffer to null

it some sort of reduce latency by a large margin but the drawback is songs will "lag" abit when youre skipping a track .. but no problem if you play from start to end

k.. after comparing,
found out that the DAC is a bit slow. not so good for fast songs.. smeared detail a bit.
body is very nice along with the bass.
otherwise, for the price, and if u dont have any dac, it can be considered a good buy.

heh should be typical BB's sound then .. if not mistaken its a little laidback , nice for slow songs..
for RM90 it is indeed a very good buy.. you cant even get a decent soundcard for RM90 to begin with(first hand) .. not to mention something external like this

omg i'm interested on this small dac....
but no casing for it >.<

Casing is no issue.. many to choose or use your imagination

I've been thinking too far...

A machined out aluminium casing or something that made of aluminium plate....

and end up the cost would be more..........

A good casing will definitely cost more esp. for bang for buck stuffs, eg the T-Amp's TA2024. U can't get a good casing for it for less than RM55!

try this:

shouldnt cost much .. all it need is a suitable plastic box .. a hot nail/drill and youre done

maybe we can make a thread to show off our own casing for this DAC in the future. that would be interesting.
