Hey juanpmar,
Hi Audiodidakt,
Thanks so much for your help, I wasn´t looking at the complete list of KS devices and yes there is one with KS prefixed. Now I can play with #4Engine. Too many things to look at with this player...ok, the sound makes it worthwhile.
#4Engine (KS) should be better sounding as #3Engine (WASAPI), you have to work out for yourself if you prefer "special" or "adaptive" mode
Special mode is made for low latency playback, which suite me well, for electronic music.
Adaptive mode is more suitable for other music, I guess, higher latency is preferred, like 1024, 2048 samples
Just a couple of questions:
- How can I see the buffer size in my device?. My Musiland Monitor USD has a window that says ASIO Buffer with 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 values. If I make a x 100 of these values I get close to the numbers in the Buffer size of the XXHighEnd; as an example 2000 is close to 2048. Is that correct?.
I´m using Adaptive Mode and Q1:1 and when I change the buffer size I can´t tell differences between 2048 and 1024. What should be the differences between higher or lower values
ASIO is for WASAPI, so not for kernel streaming you are using with #4Engine.
I imagine Peter is bit busy today, he will get back on the "Musiland Monitor", which I know nothing about.
- I can play the music using a preamp or directly with the XXHigEnd. I read in some place that using the Volume affect the sound, in that case would be better to use a preamp, I guess.
Well its better to not use a pre-amp at all, the volume control in xx software is currently the best option available.
BUT, its can be a bit tedious to work with (getting use to).
Hold your horses on taking the pre-amp out of the chain, aproach this with caution.
Btw, how do you make the screen shots?
In vista, you can use the button "PrtScn" on your upper-right-side of the keyboard, open windows paint then use the paste option in paint.
In W7, you have a nice tool called "Snipping Tool"
Best Regards,
Roy
