I've read a few threads on this, but I'm still a tad confused.
I've got an X-Fi Titanium on a Win7 computer, being used only as an output device/transport (via optical) to an external DAC, using foobar as the media player. I want to set it up to play bit-matched. From what I've read, I'm under the assumption that I need to do the following:
- Download and "install" the WASAPI dll for foobar.
- Set the output device as "WASAPI S/PDIF" in foobar, at 24-bit, with a buffer length long enough to not cause music drop-out, but short enough to not cause foobar GUI lag.
- Run the X-Fi in Audio Creation mode via the Console.
Anything I'm missing or got wrong? I've seen a few references to the X-Fi not doing true bit-matched playback via the S/PDIF outputs, but nothing definitive.
