Maybe I´ve had some trouble posting...
Thanks, sajunky and gimmeheadroom, for your answers. I´ll check Chrome for bitperfect. I understood you heard difference enabling bitperfect , is that true ? Anyway, I thaught maybe there´s some kind of equalization in Dezeer, in browser mode, that makes it sound a little "holow", at least for me. Do you think is it possible ?
NOS mode is subject to the internal settings in your DAC, it doesn't depend on interface or settings on the PC. It means no oversampling and no sound processing (like digital filtering). Depends on your DAC, this term can be missused, it can refer to the specific filtering settings, not every DAC marketed as NOS comply strictly to this definition. In all cases, a DAC display a current sampling rate of the incoming data stream irrespectively to the internal mode of operation.is my DAC running in NOS mode? (using wasapi and connecting to a DAC via USB)
In the first case PC mixer is set up to upsample everything to 384kHz. This settings is found in the Sound Control Panel. It is not bit-perfect.When using non-WASAPI output/playback device (example: default primary sound driver), the DAC shows PCM 384Khz on its display. When using WASAPI, it shows the sampling rate of the music file (usually Redbook specs as I have a lot of them)
In the second case it may be bit-perfect, or not, depends on the output you select in the Foobar. Post screenshot of the output devices in Foobar, I will be able to tell you which output produce bit-perfect transfer. WASAPI can be shared and exclusive. Shared is default in Foobar.
Use ASIO whenever possible.I don't have the laptop with me but it's running on exclusive mode (push I believe)
Try event mode, if your DAC support it. It helps OS task management.I don't have the laptop with me but it's running on exclusive mode (push I believe)
@gimmeheadroom. If I remember correctly you have setup with asioproxy. It is sensitive to the installed version of SACD component. A compatible version is very old, there are many improvements. I suggest uninstall proxy in Control Panel and install a new version, now called DSDTranscoder, there is more chance to work with new software (SACD component and Foobar 1.6). It is covered in "Foobar for Dummies" Part 2, Mode 2.
I don't use it but there is a volume normalization feature. I'm not sure if it needs metadata from each song being played though. Look at replay gain in the settings.Hello everyone. Does anyone know if it is possible, in Foobar, to make all the songs in a playlist sound the same, that is, at the same volume, being songs from different albums...? Thanks for your response.
You can scan your tracks for replaygain data, with some app of sort or right into foobar if you want(if it's one playlist, click on one song then CTLR+A to select everything in that playlist, then right click->ReplayGain->Scan per-file track gain.Hello everyone. Does anyone know if it is possible, in Foobar, to make all the songs in a playlist sound the same, that is, at the same volume, being songs from different albums...? Thanks for your response.
