It is working but upsampling doesn't seem to buy me anything.

the best for each I could get in my system was: ASIO - 32bit 48kHz, kernel streaming - 32bit 96kHz and direct sound - 32 bit 192kHz all with SRC. I couldn't tell any of them apart from 32 bit 44.1kHz sound quality wise, but I am thinking this has to do with the fact that I am sending my audio from PC to my reciever via toslink and my reciever has this "24bit 192kHz Digital Remastering" feature so my reciever is essentially making all the upsampling in the PC redundant. That would be cool by me though since doing 32bit 192KHz pretty much made the thing nearly useless for other stuff since the sound got all stuttery if I tried anything much. At any rate the whole upsampling thing didn't buy me a darn thing.

I really dig Foobar and EAC though and am totally getting a mic and preamp this week so I can try this system and room correction filter convolved with music via convolver plugin for foobar. That is some sweet stuff there that I finally decided to pull the trigger on trying this stuff when your guide led me to try foobars upsampling how-to so thanks man.

I spent all weekend getting started on re-ripping my CD's onto my hardrive in lossless compressionless images using EAC which is also new to me from your guide. I have to admit that these EAC ripped files played through my PC and optical link to my reciever sounds mighty nice compared to the lowend old skewl CD player with its analog RCA wires from high school that I never use any ways. This DRC stuff might make it worth going for the best quality rips even though they take up some room.

PS which one is best between ASIO, kernel streaming, and direct sound and why?
