No..you try SSRC first and you will know the difference...

I have 1 question to all SSRC user...i used the 192k sample rate with ultra quality setting..but i realized 48k sample rate give more clarity and treble.
What is happening?? Doesn't the higher sample rate mean higher quality and clarity?? icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

in laymen terms.... if your sound card could not produce 192Khz, what do u expect??  brows.gif  btw, what sound card r u using?

then u should try SRC....  icon_idea.gif
*
Is that so? btw if my sound card not support 192Khz playback, the song will stutter just like when i using SRC with 192Khz sample rate..but with SSRC the song play just
fine on 192Khz but less clarity than the original 44.1Khz and 48Khz..I think oversampling does not produce any good. What do u think?

FYI i only use onboard cheap AL888...sound card is very expensive you know smile.gif

over-sampling eating up your resources and produce less ... what for? right? icon_idea.gif

for foobar2k, i only stick to 96khz.... despite my sound card can support 24bit/192khz in stereo mode.... brows.gif

Can you tell the difference between 48khz and 96khz?? Is it have more clarity?

again it always depends on your hardware .... in my case, yes it is more clarity, projection, detailing, etc

What is current price for your X-Fi?? Does onboard AL888 really can produce 24bit/192Khz sample rate????

i bought it at RM900. i m not sure about realtek al888... sorry

but no point buying x-fi, maybe u could try out ASUS XONAR and there is a new sc coming up....

Is it good for music??Actually i dont like my foobar with many DSP plugin coz i think they all fake...the original and good quality sound only produced by the soundcard, not the audio enhancer or plug-in.

actually music should stick with 44.1khz since the source is 44.1..
44.1, 48, 192 do hv different projection of sound in terms of clarity but not very noticeable..

i do believe that get as original as possible is what audiophiles seek for..
*
But to do that you must have high end speaker and sound card...for people who can't afford the cost, they just install enhancer or plug-in..
Thats like Toyota AE86 install a turbo to compete with GTR34.

I tried using the resampler and set it at 96khz from normal 44khz, then I notice the sound bit different like... sounds bigger? That's what I heard
The difference is more noticeable with high bit rate (320kbps) and lossless songs, while not so obvious on low bit rate's (192kbps and below)

What resampler did you use?

Is ASIO = WASAPI = Kernel Streaming ????

Is it recommend to leave ASIO setting at the system tray icon to its default setting?

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

but not all sc support ASIO  smile.gif
Bro Fariz mind elebrate further  wink.gif
yape, why down-sampling? cool.gif
*
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?

Why many people like using ASIO output? Foobar2k with ASIO will crash when playing other media/audio like youtube..What a trouble!
What speaker did you guys use when enabling ASIO output? Is it enough with Edifier C3 or Klipsch Promedia (RM399 model)?


And what did Dither do in Foobar2k?

speaker is not the main concern when enabling ASIO output, its the soundcard itself, whether supporting ASIO or not..

Does Realtek 100% support ASIO? Why i can hear 'click' sound during playback when using ASIO?

Nope, I assume you use ASIO4ALL, increase the ASIO buffer size until it no longer click. Use this guide to set it up properly
*
Thanks for the guide, but in windows vista ASIO4ALL show 'Allow Pull Mode (WaveRT)' instead of 'Enable Hardware Buffer'. Is it the same? Should i leave it unchecked?

And 1 more, what 'Dither' actually do in my output?
