Christine does going through WMP impose any audio penalty?

Good luck with your new installation Christine.

I have been curious about Windows Media Player because of my eventual desire to control my headless server via a UMPC (yes, on one of those tiny 7" screens...). MS has put out what they call the Origami Experience, a UI for UMPC's running Vista that is a very visually appealing interface.

It runs audio through WMP which has made me shy away from it as most audiophile oriented people here seem to run almost anything else as their front end than WMP (Foobar, Winamp, JRiver etc). Seeing you put in a plug for WMP makes me wonder if I have been right to dismiss it out of hand without adding it to my learning curve.

Are there issues with ASIO and WMP? Can one output bitperfect music streams using Vista and WMP?

Thanks,

Dave M
