    Curious if you're testing regular things like wasapi with unison on things like Jriver. You know average Joe stuff like I use.

    Yes, that exact combination is one of the test modes. It isn't easy as the dScope doesn't have a path method selection like jRiver offers. It tends to default to either ASIO or WDM in shared mode. But with some cleverness and extra effort I can perform a subset of measurements ensuring WASAPI used with host players. Have to create signals from the dScope and save as wavefiles.

    I wonder if MacOS is similarly fraught.

    That's why i like linux, getting direct access to alsa is trivial.

    True @Riotvan, however Linux cannot handle different sample rates very well. Which is why I think Windows did the WDM in the first place. This is why the "exclusive" thing is so important, yet also limiting.

    @Azimuth hmm can't say i've really noticed that problem, maybe because most of my files are 16bit 44.1kzh? For other stuff like youtube etc i just use pipewire or pulse.

    I could not get any Linux distro to output high-res no matter what my settings were. Even even over USB - it would just down convert everything. And I changed a bunch of settings and lines in the code files of Pulse and Alsamixer...could never get it to work.

    Did you play with the hw:0,0 stuff? That should be bit-perfect. Even so there are disable resample setting for for asound.conf and if you keep the alsamixer at unity gain it should not touch anything.
