Can I use ASIO without needing exclusive mode in one app? I found hifi cable from vb-audio that promises this, but I have to pick one bit depth and sample rate and stick with it.
Honestly yeah there are *significantly* better spec'd Windows (and Linux, but I'm lazy) machines at equivalent price points to Apple gear but I will say as someone that occasionally helps family members run Macs the software's where it's at. Easy for Windows users to migrate to OSX but more difficult the other way back, I'm told.
Do you mean you're worried about ASIO in foobar/JRMC/whatever causing errors for other applications? Doesn't pose a problem for me unless I try playing audio in, say, a browser while I have foobar running in the background. Just a quick alt+f4 for foobar and a tab refresh then all's golden.
@Lyander the switch to W10 actually wasn’t that painful. Maybe it would have been different with the previous iteration of Windows, but it’s not that bad.
Most generic asio software is not really asio. asio-4 all is just a wrapper for a windows driver for example. Asio should come from the manufacturer of the dac or Steinberg who invented it. Sometimes dacs or players do not work or work well with Asio. Waspsi Event is close in sound although asio better on many dacs.
@bixby Right now I'm using VB Audio's Hifi Cable to route all my audio through either my DAC's or Lynx's ASIO drivers. It's the only way I've figured out how to use ASIO without exclusive mode (I miss OS X). Does this make sense?
