As i don't follow this topic regularly, does anybody know if a solution for the blue screens, when watching YouTube, was found ???
Thanks, man.
One more thing..
Do I leave this setting as is on CD quality? 2 channel, 16bit 44.1kHz..
I have all the following sample rates ticked under Supported Formats: 44.1, 48, 96, and 192kHz. Encoded formats: DTS Audio, Dolby Audio.
I use foobar2000, and in the output menu I'm using Realtek Digital Ouput, I'm not using WASAPI because of the lag between changing tracks and Windows compatibility issues.
Does this all sound about right, or I should change something? Thanks alot.

it doesn't matter what you' re choosing under windows, since foobar takes exclusive control of the device, hence what is matter is what you choose as output in foobar ...
if you don't use wasapi then the only other right (soundwise) solution is KS ... not Realtek Digital Ouput ...
KS? I dont see that under output. I only see WASAPI and Digital Output.
Whats wrong with Digital output?
Usually is better to use direct streaming output (ASIO, WASAPI, KS) instead of Direct Sound (DS). The streaming is bypassing windows mixer and allows bit-exact playback. It is not a problem to use DS - Digital output, but is better if you use ASIO or WASAPI. I don't recommend Kernel streaming (KS) if you use Windows 7 or 8, because it is old method created for Windows XP. For Windows 7/8 use WASAPI (event), ASIO or if you have problems with them is OK to use DS. For ASIO you need to install drivers and Foobar plugin.
Hope that helps.
Thank you for explaining!
I have issues with WASAPI that is why I opted to DS.
You said it doesnt matter what settings I keep in Windows, correct? I opted for 2 channel 24 bit 44.1kHz, is this ok?
i am planning to buy the NFB-11, can i use different op amps like these for example?
Hey guys
Is there a way to reduce the volume out over USB to the unit, I use the unit as digital preamp and for headphones but the volume difference between optical input and usb is massive
I use foobar and don't want to reduce the volume there as this will reduce the resolution of the music. When listening to music through my speakers with the unit set to USB I can't turn the volume past 8 o'clock without it being too loud, it feels like my mono block power amps aren't really hitting their stride. If I play through the optical connection, I can turn the preamp (11.32) up to 12 o'clock and the music has much great dynamics.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
