USB DAC, Kmixers, etc


Recommended Posts

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

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.
