Thanks again Peter . I think just buy that usb dac to give it a shot.

So basically minimized os will turn off windows services and focus entirely on the audio playing right ?

One last question if you can .  If I use my dac as output device from settings it plays the song but it is in fast forward mode , the music is distorted . The only way to play it normally is to use the ks: audio device with engine What is the difference between that output and the ks ?


Thanks again 

Thanks a lot for the reply . You 've been very informative.

Therefore I can't gain much of sound quality improve with this dac since It only supports up to 48khz ? I 've never spend money for an expensive dac , I did for the amplifier O2 and for headphones but not for dac. So I want to get a simple 24/96 kHz dac , and the only one I've found is the sabre usb dac which it is very popular but I really don't know much about the improvement I can get by using that dac in combination with your awesome player

Hello!

First of all I really like the xxhighend player but I have a few questions if it is possible you could help me out with.

1. I'm using an O2 amp and a go vibe usb dac  on my Lenovo x200 notebook

So it seems it is 16bit and 48khz only . So I should change that from the settings right?

2. Why I can't see any thumbnails of my cover art?

3. If I use my dac as output device from settings it plays the song but it is in fast forward mode , the music is distorted . The only way to play it normally is to use the ks: audio device with engine 4. What is the difference ?

4. How can I choose the upsample rate and where can I see it ? How do I know that it upsamples the track playing at the moment ? I can only see information about the quality of the track .

5. Disabling uac makes win 10 apps not being able to run, Microsoft edge being one of them. Is there a way to be able to run it with uac off?

If anyone could help me out I would be very grateful Sorry for the big number of (newbie) questions

Best regards,

Andrew
