yew.... a few tiring holidays with my family.

for me, not for arguing sake, resampling will justify depending on the source. lossless format might be fine not lossy one.

but not all sc support ASIO



Bro Fariz mind elebrate further


yape, why down-sampling?

What the main purpose of ASIO? What i know is other windows sound is disabled and my ALC888 EQ in the system tray also disabled..My foobar2k sound is quite flat
without EQ..

So what are the benefit of ASIO?

Benefits of ASIO is to bypass Windows Kmixer (it alters the sound), so the purpose of using ASIO (or Kernel Streaming, or WASAPI) is to get a bit perfect audio, nothing is altered, no equalizer and stuff. It is supposed to be flat, if you don't like that kind of sound then use normal Directsound and use as much equalizer or anything as you like. If you use any other DSP with ASIO, it defeats the first purpose to get the bit perfect out in the first place

I already told what to use when your card don't natively support ASIO

as for you, just can try out kernel. if u r using vista, used wasapi

foobar2000 9.6 beta 2 seems great..no need DSP la, very nice sound quality compared to previous version without DSP.

no need DSP? something like WMP11

Guys, how can I increase the fontsize of the playlist? Looks small to me.

preferences > display > default user interface > colors and fonts

guys, totallu newbie with this.. would this work with external DAC such as Ibasso BoA?

Why not? It will work with anything that produces sound. Just select the correct Output Device on preferences and you good to go

i have installed foobar2000 with my laptop. and i have installed the asio pluggin. how do i install the plugin to foobar?

Extract the .dll into the components folder in foobar. Then open foobar, on the Output there is a subfolder called ASIO Virtual Device, press 'add new' and add your corresponding soundcard ASIO, if you have any soundcard that support ASIO, if not, either use ASIO4ALL (Google for it) or use Kernel Straeaming

i'm using BoA currently, which one is better? asio4all or kernel streaming?

In case of Vista, use Wasapi. If you asked me, Kernel Streaming and ASIO sound the same

i use kernel and resampler secret rabbit code.. WOW.. i could feel the real BoA. thx a lot dude..

Thanks for the tip up!

Now I realised Foobar sounds better than WMP11.
