Return to PC Audio-HELP!

[Purite Audio]

After a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt at PC 'computer audio' , I now feel strong enough to have another go, there is a device I want to try, which requires the use of FOOBAR, I have an old XP Vaio, I have downloaded the latest incarnation of FOO BAR so what I need to tick, check , adjust disable to get the best possible sound?

Does Foobar 'kernel stream do I still need ASIO any help advice gratefully received.

Keith.

Keith, I expect the regulars on this site with far more nouse than I will reply, but if it is of any assistance I found some excellent basic guidance on the Ayre site linked to their QB-9 dac page - this link will take you there http://www.ayre.com/usb-foobar_setup_xp.htm.

 

That said, I bombed on seeking to get my XP laptop to sound as good as my MacBook - my technical inadequacies I fear.

 

Happy tweaking.

Thanks for the link David , I too have been extremely happy with my Macs but in the interests of empirical investigation! Very Best,

Keith.
