Foobar2K output bit depth?
Nov 9, 2008 at 4:29 PM Post #16 of 23
3:30 min (210 sec) of 24/96 wave = 120 960 112 bytes

So 576000 bytes/sec

Wiki:
USB 1.0: Released in January 1996.
Specified data rates of 1.5 Mbit/s (Low-Speed) and 12 Mbit/s (Full-Speed). Did not anticipate or pass-through monitors. Few such devices actually made it to market.

So 12 Mbit/s after 220 sec give a file size 330000000 (twice the size of the 24/96) ... so USB1.1 have no problem to play STEREO 24/96 ... if your unit don't permit that, it's not USB1.1 limitation.

myinitialsaredac: well, don't tell me :p



Now this is plain odd. Seriously, I have had the bloody thing for over a year and in all that time I've never knew it could handle more than 16/44.1. As a matter of fact, I never even tried - until now that is. And (obviously) it works just fine.

It's not that it's a problem because I have been using optical for practical reasons, but still. Odd to say the least.

For all you guys trying to prove that 16/44.1 is not a limitation of USB 1.1. It's great stuff, but I got the point the first post.

BTW, if you're using the DirectSound driver, it doesn't prove anything, since everything will get resampled to satisfy the device's requirements. You need to use either Kernel Streaming or ASIO.



Tell me about it. I think I should cut down on my beer intake.

Sorry to be a thread necromancer, but I'm just confirming that the way I'm going about things is right....

For 44.1/16 files, I've got everything set up according to the ASIO setup guide on these forums and it's working nicely. For files that go beyond (like 96/24 files) I'm using Resampler PPHS to bring it down to 48 but what should I do about the bit-depth?

Check "dither" on foobar's output?

or

Check "Force WDM driver to 16-bit" in the ASIO panel?

Well for some reason I can't tell the difference between setting my Audigy 2 NX as 16bit-48k and 24bit-96k with 48k and 96k output from foobar respectively.

Hmm...but I still set it as 16bit after reading this thread lol!

If I were you I'd do both! xD
