Event sounds better to me. This WASAPI 3.0 update is great. I was having problems with my visualizations only updating at around 15fps when going through my Wavelink HS USB/SPDIF converter box, and now it's working properly at 60fps. I'm getting a more clean and spacious sound with WASAPI event mode. The difference isn't super pronounced, but it's akin to a nice upgrade at the source level for my stats. Very, very happy with this update.

It's about time Event mode was supported. And the most curious bit is that the theory behind it makes that specific mode more compatible with USB DACs, not the other way around.
In any case, I'm glad it's finally available :)

Although this is for JRiver, this seems to be a good description of event vs. push:
I just "upgraded" my WASAPI component and noticed the difference immediately with push. It could all be in my head but I could swear that push sounds "thicker" and less defined than event on my E17+E9 setup.
Event is definitely the way to go if your DAC is compatible with it.

) sounds much clearer to me on push. The event option blurs the vocals and makes them lose their magic. I'm genuinely surprised how significant the difference is.Paradoxically, "Yakusoku" on "CLANNAD The Movie Image Song - Yakusoku" has clearer vocals on event than push. Augh!
The Computer Engineer in me tells me that someone, somewhere made a mistake and the difference is the result of a bug. Buffer size conceptually shouldn't matter as long as it plays without skipping. But who knows, if they screwed this up- maybe there's a bug there too.

Tx for the link. I believe this update was vip for usb DACs?
Didn't notice any changes in SQ with my low end equip., be it event or push mode.
Tested with Pink Floyd's Wish you were here, flac/794kbps/44.1kHz.
