Processor DACs

all about pc and audio thoughts ...
Dtc - did not know that about JRiver, not sure if memory playback is as important on a PC as WASAPI and/or kernel streaming, as we must avoid the windows audio mixer. I do think JRiver would be an excellent product, but just not for me. I have own...

One thing Jplay definitely does do in iTunes is utilize WASAPI and Kernel Streaming, which iTunes does not do, at least not in its most current version. The sound quality upgrade on my system is significant. Foobar: won't recognize AIFF files, can...

Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends"
I've read all the posts and I still don't understand how a class D amp works. What are the devices that do this "switching?" I get the difference between class A and class A/B, that thread was great, but for this one I think I need some kind of du...
