I've had an Apogee Mini-DAC for nearly a year now and cannot say enough good things about it. One of the interesting things about the product is that the drivers included with the device cause all windows audio to be output at 44.1khz. I've been trying to figure out how they do this, based on the driver names it appears to be using kernel streaming. The driver however, is a licensed copy of usb-audio.com's ASIO driver. I also notice that if I use iTunes to playback music, it is output at 44.1, but I swear it sounds different when I use Foobar to playback with ASIO. Does anyone have an idea of how the Apogee driver is structured exactly and if there is a real benefit to playing back with Foobar? I'm currently using multi-plugin to allow iTunes to invoke Foobar and play through it.
