iamimdoc Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 In a Windows XP (home) setup on a PC using MediaMonkey -> will using a USB DAC bypass some of the stuff that is supose to cause sound degradation, ie the "dreaded Kmixer", etc? If not, how would/can one minimize un-toward effects in this configuration? I understand that a USB DAC has its own set of issues, but that it another discussion. Thanks in advance Link to comment
akai Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I use ASIO4ALL (plug in), you can download it for free. I do not use MM, I use JRiver Jukebox, I think they are quite similar as well as their support for the ASIO4ALL. My set up is Windows XP-SP3 > J River Jukebox with ASIO4ALL > Hi Face USB/SPDIF > DAC, you will not need the Hi Face because you are connection directly to your USB. Direct USB without ASIO does not bypass the Kmixer as far as I know. By the way, the link is a primer for computer audio. http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/index.html mP Link to comment
