Cause i don't think WMP11 can output to ASIO or Kernal Streaming, but I'm not 100% sure.

Oh, so you're using XP rather than Vista? I didn't realize ASIO had a negative effect on some programs.

Not if the card actually supports ASIO and has custom ASIO drivers. Most people around here are using the ASIO4All hack if they're using ASIO at all, and it's not equivalent to the real thing in terms of speed and compatibility.

Yeah I have XP. I'm not sure, all I know is that when i use the default it's stable, but when i use ASIO it's extremely buggy, when i use Kernal Streaming it's sluggish and has some minor bugs

I tried both already and they're both buggy.

(asio4all and the native sound card asio)

Winamp doesn't natively support ASIO, and the plug-in is known to be buggy. I just meant that for applications that do natively support ASIO, ASIO4All doesn't always function as well as card-specific ASIO drivers.

Alot of of us are bypassing commercial material all together. Many Many of us have hours upon hours of raw never mastered music. And for that you need to EQ.

If you think any of your RBCD's were never EQ'ed prior to pressing you are wrong.

is it just me or is there a slight discrepancy in tempo in foobar2000?

The songs sound a titch slower

If that were true then my foobar output wouldn't be decoded by my reciever on DTS & HDCD encoded material.

could be the ASIO on this machine.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who sometimes feels "built a little too low to the ground", as in some of this stuff just goes right over my head

I use wmp myself. I've looked at foobar and my head starts spinning just reading the instructions/checking out the forum. Sometimes I think I'm just too old for some of this stuff - at least to be just trying to start to learn.

Winamp I had on my old (read Win98SE) computer and I don't recall it being exceptional. Of course, then it kind of went away and wmp took over as default player for windows. May have to look at getting winamp again just to see what differences there are. Plus my broadcasting software I just found out can use some of the DSP winamp plugins!
