Without ASIO I cannot play a KeyBoard in sync with Music computer is playing. I don't use much DSD either and agree it's only.
With DSD or MQA it just makes it easy to verify.
Sometimes it will actually be bitperfect. Then one common thing to do is set computer volume to 100% to minimize any digital attenuation. Like if your USB DAC doesn't support ASIO or WASAPI Some players might have say an Software EQ that you might want to defeat.Ĭlose doesn't mean physically close. If you are using ASIO or WASAPI you "should" be bitperfect but not always. I'd say having a good surround or virtual surround through headphone is prolly much much more important than going from let's say 2ms to 1ms delay for the sound. Thanks in advance for clarifying this to meġ- So if I understand right, you mean that the closer you sit to your speaker such as my current 2 meter, the less likely I am to notice a difference with the improved latency of BitPerfect? If yes then it means it is totaly useless for headphone listening since it can't really be any closer?Ģ- If I notice zero difference with or without BitPerfect it means that my setup is well set and I'm already getting most of it?ģ- Actualy is there situations where it can be worse, because like I've said if I use it it gets played in the native 16Bit 44.1Khz on my DAC but if I don't use BitPerfect then it shows 192Khz so does it disable the improvements of all the up-sampling feature when I activate BP?Ĥ- I can't test with a DSD file as my DAC doesn't support it and anyway it's worthless if less than 0.1% of what I listen exist in that file format.ĥ- As for gaming I just come back from a Battlefield 1 session and I've never noticed any delay and never had trouble being in the top players.
I've noticed on my external DAC through USB which is a (NAD M51) it will display 192Khz if I set windows to that and then it's suppose to upscale to much higher internaly, but if I use Bitperfect then it's gonna display the default 44.1Khz of the 320Kbps MP3 I'm playing so does that mean it actualy stays at 44.1Khz, therefore disabling the great upscalling which is one of the main reason to get that Dac?!Īlso is it true that if you use Bitperfect you have less "Jitter" through USB or it's all BS? I already bet than this overpriced Audioquest USB cable doesn't actualy improve anything at all that the human ear can notice. Actualy even the guy who developped the plugin (Asio4All) states that there is no sound improvement so then why even do the codec in the first place? Also, often nothing 16/44 plays afterwards until I unplug and replug in the Nuforce.I've read so many time that to get better sound quality you had to use (Bit Perfect // Asio) rather than the default sound codec of Windows but honnestly back then I never noticed any difference, and now that I have a damn expensive setup compare to what I used to have, I still hear no ******* difference at all so why do people even bother with that and the annoyance of not being able to hear anything else than your music if Foobar2000 is open, even if playing nothing. The lights on the Nuforce do indicate a switch to 96K, but nothing actually plays. I've tried Plex in exclusive mode, with Direct play ticked and specifically selecting the Nuforce USB device, but upon playing anything 24/96, I just get a playback error. I can tinker in the Mac Midi setting to specify a higher bit/sample rate, then then everything up/down sampled. All my tunes sit on a Centos8 server in the loft with Gigabit ethernet everywhere.īy default Plex just downsamples everything to 16/44.1. I have a 2009 Mac Mini with High Sierra then a Nuforce USB192K SPDIF adaptor fed via coax into my Primare SP31.7 processor which can handle upto 24/94 PCM. However, I can't seem to get Plex to play HD audio files. I recently provisioned an old Mac Mini setup on my main lounge setup where I really want top notch audio quality (hence joining the forum here. Been using Plex for a while (and paid for lifetime pass), been digging the library management side and network streaming to listen to tunes on my work laptop etc.
