I Just Learned Something.....

"ASIO dll output IME is the only output that elevates Foobar to that rare combination of purity, continuity, resolution, and dynamics. Kernel Streaming to my ears is way too soft-sounding while DirectSound and Waveout cannot bypass the Windows K-mixer, which resamples everything to 48kHz, leading to non bit-perfect output."

I just installed the ASIO4ALL utility, disabled the "48kHz conversion".... And it indeed transforms Foobar.... I never knew about the conversion to 48 kHz.... It turns out that has been limiting the performance, regardless of player being used.... (I could never get Kernel streaming to work.)

My thanks, Jon!!
