for science i tested it out using your method and i'm not sure what it proves. It only works if windows is at 44.1/24. It works if if quciktime is using direct sound using the same 44.1/24 settings or wasapi.

I've been looking up bitperfect for iTunes on Win 7 x64 recently and I finally came across this useful discussion. I'm using iTunes 10.1 and whatever the most recent QuickTime is, and for me the Windows Audio Session is NOT grayed out. I can select it perfectly fine. As a previous poster said, the Rate, Size, and Channels options are then grayed out. Again this is Windows 7 Home Premium x64.

Does this means that it cannot fully utilizes the 96KHz/24bit USB DAC?  I'm 64bit Vista user that uses both foobar and iTunes... I really like the iTunes more and it would be great if it does not degrade the ALAC SQ

I can also confirm that iTunes 10.5 is using WASAPI Shared Mode on Windows 7 x64.   I think you have to install Quicktime separately in order to change to WASAPI since they don't bundle it anymore.
 
I noticed that when iTunes is playing music, the windows volume slider has no effect, but it still generates a windows chime.   
 
I don't know how we can force iTunes to use exclusive mode under Win 7 x64, maybe we can't .

Zune does not appear to have exclusive mode. I downloaded & installed it & could not find any such option. No WASAPI or ASIO options.
