WASAPI exclusive mode, but only in the pull configuration (used in WMP iirc) is confirmed to be bit perfect, but this is useless because you won't be able to hear the difference.

After going back and forth several times to get the volume matched it was very apparent to me that using the X3 as the source was much better sounding.which would mean no bitperfect playback was happening on my PC. The resampler in Windows 7 is apparently of high enough quality to merit setting your sound card to the highest bit depth/sample rate upon playback. wav file over digital-out to an external DAC/decoder will confirm whether bit-perfect passthrough is. To test this further I tried playing the same file from MusicBee and then again from the X3 directly (X3 as the source and the DAC).

Set the app to exclusive mode and turn off pass through MQA. A thread on suggested that playing a DTS. Take an inexpensive, silent and low-consumption mini-PC and make it perform as an high fidelity digital source.

RuneAudio is a free and open source software that turns embedded hardware into Hi-Fi music players. Bitperfect) Sony Xperia X Compact (UAPP USB Exclusive Mode, Bitperfect). A revolutionary digital Hi-Fi player One player to rune them all. That normal/original meaning of 'bitperfect' tends to not be much an issue in. From Head-Fi By Ryan Pros: - Superbly well balanced neutral and natural sound. Make sure you have volume equalization off. By bitperfect audio is in fact normally meant a fully digital chain delivering the exact same bits at its destination as went into it at its source, whereas you are (supposedly I should say) talking about a regular sound card, not so much any digital output of such. With the non-MQA DAC both the software unfold and no unfold both work fine. I don't have this problem and I use Tidal regularly over 4 DACs, three of them are MQA and one is not. There are big Qobuz and Tidal threads here on the forums and many comparisons and comments. 2) all streams spun from the Mini’s TOSLINK socket are rendered bit. 1) Streams instigated via the Home app now playback gaplessly: UPnP, Tidal and Qobuz.

Depending on your tastes, Tidal has very good masters. It’s been in beta testing for the past couple of weeks but this weekend Wiim is rolling out an over-the-air update to the Mini version 42 that rights the above wrongs.

Asus Memo 7 ME173X android 4.2 / ME176C k013 android 4.4. The first thing about quality is if the apps are bitperfect on Windows then the quality is going to depend only on the masters. Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (doesn’t support USB OTG) Samsung galaxy SII i9100 with Resurrection Remix 5.0.x and 4.4.4 (probably due to kernel) LG Nexus 4 (doesn’t support USB OTG) LG g4 (Android 5) plays in mono. I thought those two things went together. I didn't understand what you mean that scamazon has Exclusive Mode but is not bit perfect. The Deezer support guy doesn't seem to understand the people asking for Exclusive Mode on the desktop app. For this test, I have used my Forza Audioworks twin usb cable, with and without the iFi Power to clean the usb signal upstream I have used the Headamp AE-2 amplifier with Audio Technica AD2000, and a tweaked version of the Stax Srm-1 Mk2, with the srm-001 amplifier reworked and upgraded by head-fi member Audiocats. It's frustrating that Deezer hifi MQA does play correctly out of the node 2i but not off the desktop app.

I don't use a streamer for my desktop setup but I do have a node 2i in another room. So asking which API is better without looking into individual product is pretty meaningless.Bluesound is a good option if you can use a streamer.

Head fi bitperfect drivers#

Some devices (especially pro audio interfaces) have additional onboard DSP and FPGA and they also require drivers to work, the drivers can override WASAPI behaviour as well. DACs, said Mike Moffat, Schiits Co-Founder and head of digital development. ASIO drivers, unless the generic ones like ASIO4all, are distributed by individual hardware vendors, you can't assume they work all the same. The sound signature of the Sivga 004 made a great fit for the MODI. In general, don't generalize things and assume one API is always better or worse than the others. One of them contains official information from Microsoft as well. I compared DS and WASAPI in the video.Īlso read the link from Microsoft I posted:Īnd read every link I posted in this thread. Transmission of the digital audio stream from the computer to the DA-300USB is in bit-transparent, asynchronous mode, to ensure a bit-perfect data stream.
