It seems like Foobar doesn’t recommend the Asio drivers, unless absolutely needed. I found a way to fix it. I am not able to paste the screenshot but I hope you should be able to follow my instruction. With foobar output ASIO: foo_dsd_asio and ASIO Driver for ELAC/CMedia 64bit and Bitrates higher than 16bit/48kHz I'll get an error. I found a way to fix it.

You can connect your smartphone to the NX604 and access the music that is stored on it. Your device can be operated from the NX604’s control panel while the sound plays through the car’s speaker system. * For audio playback, please use the USB cable provided with your iPhone. * For video playback, an optional cable is required.

Well I'm sure you veteran audiophile's are yawning already at another Audio Stream Input Output thread. Well, TBH its a first for me. I am blown away by the sound quality. Its better than wasapi and most defo better than direct, but as with everything its down to taste. I do find ASIO to be to accurate and tight, on out put, but the fidelity out weighs that problem. You know, the worst media player is probs WMP but with the asio driver plug in, it is saved. Still, over and above all else I prefer music Bee with the asio driver enables for my creative sound card.

It is a bit of a mind blower how crap creative drivers are when it come to hi fi. My PC hi fi is still on W7/64. It is annoying though how asio will only support one app at a time. Sad but true, but from the old days I getting the flavour of vinyl with the ASIO driver, but better.

With SoundBlaster Z and the likes you can use StereoDirect mode which means that it bypasses even the SoundCore3D chip. ASIO doesn't work in StereoDirect mode. In exclusive WASAPI mode it's definitely bit perfect and even the volume control doesn't work (unless the application does it by itself).

Without StereoDirect mode global volume control would work even in exclusive WASAPI mode and ASIO because it goes through at least the SoundCore3D chip. So, if you want absolutely the bit perfect quality with latest Creative sound cards, use WASAPI and StereoDirect mode. With WASAPI and ASIO it doesn't automatically mean that there isn't any processing going on - sound card/device may still do stuff (like volume control).

DTS audio, like any encoded audio stream, needs to be outputted without modification to an external decoder. If the stream is modified in any way, aka is not bitperfect, then you'll get no audio on the external decoder as the stream data is corrupted. This is why streaming encoded audio is a great way to test whether a system is bitperfect. For FB2K, you select your digital output under DS, say SPDIF or HDMI.

Allow exclusive mode, and just to be safe, set Windows default audio output to 16/48. Also make sure any soundcard enhancements are disabled.

WASAPI has that capacity, if you enable it in the device's properties, and you use a player that is aware. DirectSound is bitperfect as well, just not exclusive, so it can be muxed. Windows 7 had that capacity as well for DirectSound, but KMixer often resampled the audio stream.

Windows 10 has changed that behavior and can now parse a bitperfect stream under the correct settings. If the stream isn't exclusive it'll still be bitperfect, until it's muxed with another source.

EDIT: Windows Audio exclusive is via WASAPI. All you're demonstrating is that your audio stream is being exclusive, and you've given it priority. DirectSound has that capacity, if you enable it in the device's properties, and you use a player that is aware.

Click to expand.But not only priority. WASAPI exclusive and ASIO just bypass Windows mixer (preventing other sources of sound to mix to player output) - that`s why it is called exclusive, and that`s why it is bit perfect - no other code is messing with sound data.
