Confirmed. The link is dead. Would it be okay if we just downloaded it from here? http://www.foobar2000.org/?page=Download
currently my settings are with 40 but tried it with 20 and 10..same story
the interesting part is that, which I just figured out, the bars rise before the song starts, say before I hear it (with asio)
when I switch back to Sound wave, the bars rise together with the sound..
so this latency maybe one of symptoms too...
Thanks, I managed to install the driver fine however I'm experiencing a problem, hopefully you can help.
When I use the "ASIO: FIIO E17 DAC ASIO DRIVER" in the foobar output, there is a lag/buffer time of about 1 second whenever a new track plays, or when skipping through a track.
This does not happen if I select the standard "DS: SPDIF OUT (2-FIIO USB DAC-E17)" or "WASAPI: SPDIF OUT (2-FIIO USB DAC-E17)" outputs.
I would just use the WASAPI output, however it's really annoying having to close foobar and restart firefox every time you want to stream something online.
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.
Hello,
I bought the E-17 to use specifically for mixdowns from my digital audio workstation, Reaper. It's super-quiet compared to my on-board laptop sound. Using headphones has been an exceptional experience. I'm very impressed. I was just as impressed using it with an iRiver H-10 (with Rockbox, of course! ...wish it had a digital output).
My only real issue has been utilizing FiiO's own ASIO driver for the E-17. On my laptop and desktop using Windows 7 x64, everything I've tested it with (FruityLoops 11, Sound Forge, AAMS), that utilizes the ASIO driver does and very well. However, Reaper doesn't see it but it does see the DirectSound driver, the WDM driver as well as the E-17 in ASIO4ALL, the generic ASIO driver. Fiio's ASIO driver worked better than ASIO4ALL when utilized. That's why I thought it was worth it to see if this would be a possibility in the near-future. Any tips or tricks?
Thanks for a great product!

(I've posted on Reaper's forum as well but haven't seen a response from the developers as of yet.)
Hello,
The main feature that I'm interested in is taking advantage of the 6144 buffer size as opposed to the ASIO4ALL maximum size of 2048. This enables me to simultaneously playback more tracks to mixdown without pops, crackles and drop-outs. I've tested this in Audacity but I can't use that for mixing. (Low latency isn't needed for me in this situation.)

CPU is fine. Even with my laptop's on-board sound card, I can playback about 75 tracks, without effects, and still have room for more.
The 2048 buffer is the limitation, it's the higher buffer I'm after. I'm not concerned with low latency on playback.
