I thought WASAPI would override my windows sample rate setting, but I notice a change in the soundstage of my d7000 when i go from 16 bit to 24 bit in the windows setting. I have both exclusive mode boxes checked (windows 7). I also have the output on foobar set to 24 bit. I currently have the sample rate set to 24 bit 44100 Hz in windows, that seems to work well. What settings offer the best sound quality?thanks

as a new user, I noticed the same thing. Not so much the sound stage, but just overall sound in general. Just seems "flatter". I am making the assumption that it is just the way my computer's amp is not as true and that the wasapi is "truer" to the music. At least that is what I am telling my self.
