I'm a newbie. I'm experimenting with a similar problem to the original post (comparing sound between foobar using asio drivers and softsqueeze).
I have a laptop with foobar2000 and softqueeze installed. My laptop is connected to my Outlaw RR2150 via a USB cable. The Outlaw has a built-in USB DAC -- the UAC 3553B DAC -- so effectively the amplifier becomes the laptop's soundcard). When using foobar2000, there is a large, subjective improvement in sound quality when using ASIO instead of the base USB drivers. I'm using ASIO4ALL with foobar2000 to achieve this, since I have no unique drivers for the USB DAC in the Outlaw (so I think in this case I'm in a different situation than folks with an M-Audio USB DAC for example. I much prefer the SoftSqueeze interface (and hope to buy Slim Device hardware in the future), so I was comparing the SoftSqueeze sound to foobar. On initial comparison, foobar2000 seemed to sound much better. I then tried to setup ASIO with SoftSqueeze, but in the Audio Mixer combo box I'm not presented with options to use ASIO. I see the 'Primary Soundcard', my USB option, my laptop's internal soundcard, and Java Audio Engine. Is there a way to enable SoftSqueeze to use ASIO4ALL (or any other ASIO solution) with my amplifier's built-in USB DAC? Is there a way to use the Java Audio Engine and set it up to use ASIO? -- weadley2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ weadley2004's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13109 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
