Ok success! Got the WaveIOasio to install. Foobar reinstall (needed it anyway was a 1.34 beta almost a yr old). Forgot I needed to configure the ASIO Virtual Devices in Foobar Output. Funny it showed the, I guess stock, ASIO:XMOS USB Audio 2.0 ST 3033 and the ASIO:WaveIO ASIO driver as choices as well as KS and WASAPI. But the ST 3033 would not setup in the Virtual Devices Foobar menu, probably do to a conflict with WaveIO.
I assume WaveIO is the better ASIO driver.
So how does it sound...well not as incisive or dynamic as the KS. Smoother, 'rounder'. Low output level. Nice, but I not sure better then KS. I'll have give the two some evaluation. One thing I already noticed - I'm able to increase the Buffer size in Foobar past 2,000ms, which I was limited in KS mode. Pushed up to 7930ms, sounding better! Smoother still, but gained back some incisiveness.
I love computer audio!!!! Now I can switch on the fly between KS and ASIO! Tweek buffering, dithering, with SoX upsampler 44k wave files to 96k and alaising, bandpass filtering, phase response.
Sounding Awesome! World class already. For $155 a screaming audio bagain
