Mine is about 400 average, it should sound fine as long as it doesn't peak into the red.

oh
So I guess that getting like 10-20 pS is more than fine

BTW
with WASAPI I get a little lower than with ASIO4ALL
But really not that much different.

 

[olblueyez]

I think they are pretty much the same except WASAPI is easier to setup.

Yes, I think Vista just bring a new way for setting bit perfect with out to much problems.
Who knows - maybe in the next windows - 7 for now, it will be bit perfect from the ground

 

[olblueyez]

I hope so, MAC is already bit-perfect. Dont know why windows is like that, its stupid.

 

[HeadLover]

Linux is also like that, hope windows 7 will be like that by default.

 

[olblueyez]

Sounds like I need to install Linux and give it a try. Which version of Linux do you recommend?

You can use a Live CD - so no need to install
Just make sure it got a good player and support for FLAC or what ever you are using.

 

[olblueyez]

Any recommendations for a player?

 

[HeadLover]

amm
I love mplayer.
Seem to be fast and easy to use from the console

 

[olblueyez]

Cool, im going to try that.

mplayer is certainly the most compatible with a wide range of codecs out the box but if you prefer the foobar was of doing things then check out xmms2. You can control the player from a shell (or shell script to integrate with a program / event) on the computer's console or from another computer on the internet! If you really want to you can create your own front-end using Java, C++, Python etc...it's extensible and portable with add-ons (such as FLAC) you see. Here is a list of front-ends already available for xmms2: Clients - XMMS2

Ok, so I installed ubuntu into windows and reboot per the installer, now what? There is no way to start the program.
