    Loud Pops and crackles when using wasapi in 24 bit

    I figured it out...   For those who might run into the same problem, there is hope:   I was running an older version of Wasapi and was not aware that a new one was released not too long ago.  The new one fixed all these bugs and I get not more pops or crackles.  There are two modes in which...

    Loud Pops and crackles when using wasapi in 24 bit

    Hi all, I'm having a bit of a problem with using Wasapi in 24 bit with the latest foobar version. I'm running windows 7 64bit on a newer machine, allocated for music only. 4 GB RAM. I checked latency with the DPC latency tool and it is constant at about 100, so it's really low. Most of my...

    USG,   l don't know how you came to the conclusion that I'm using a macbook, my gear has always been listed in my sig...  Windows XP with Foobar2000...    I do have the upsampling turned off on my dac, but it's not the hifaces's fault.  So I don't know why it is being criticized as...

    About that screenshot from John's site:  he's never denied he had it up there, or that he said it.  Just a caution based on what some of his clients have reported.  He took it down because it got misinterpreted a lot.  Just thought I'd say this since he cannot be here to defend himself.  And I...

    No, I wasn't saying that, sorry.  Room/sound measuring software requires calibration of the PC's soundcard to be used in a test.  The impulse test tone is generated at the current soundcard settings, in this case 48khz.  The claim was (correct me if I'm wrong) that the hiface exhibits an upward...

    Thanks for taking the time to do these measurements.  It sure helps with some of the confusion.   Quote:

    The longest I've run the batteries is about 14 hours.  I listened to music for about 1 hour and forgot to turn it off.   I used jkeny's service, he built a nice enclosure for it.   Quote:

        Ooooh yeah!  You've found a good one there didn't ya?  Took you what, 3 weeks to dig it out?  Brilliant review, stellar!!   Here is one for you by your good friend!  More legit too, and guess what, this one's not using  words like "s..t" and "suck".  Perhaps you should give it a...

    Correct, I did do the small vs big comparison.  But I did not open the borrowed unit, because it would be kinda disrespectful of me to open up a man's modded hiface before he even saw it.  I do believe that it had 2 big clocks in it because jkeny had to guarantee his customer that I wouldn't...

      Quote: How about those of us who just want to make sure we get bit-perfect source out of our computers?  I'm not talking hiface in particular, but any of these new usb transports which bypass the internal sound card.  This is what led me to this forum and to getting the hiface.  ...

    How can I be a real audiophile if I've been building a library of .mp3 for the last 10 years because I didn't know any better?

    I went all lossless.  This way if I ever need to revert back to a cd, I can do it with no worries.  I also need not worry about quality because to me, as good as a lossy encoder is it still has to get rid of data to shrink the file size by a large percentage.  On most lossy songs I can tell a...
