Gordon Rankin . . . says ASIO is bad for audio playback
LOL. Wow, a manufacturer told you his product is great and the other guy's version is crap. Shocker. Gee, do you think he's trying to sell you something? C'mon, of course he said ASIO is bad, none of his products use ASIO. What's he going to tell you, "ASIO is great, but buy my stuff anyway."
ASIO was never meant to be used for playback
ASIO was developed by and for the Pro Audio industry for recording studios and DAWs. How do you figure it was never meant to be used?
Listen, I'm not trying to be a fanboy for ASIO. If you want to start a debate or comparison between Windows XP w/ASIO and Windows Vista/7 w/WASAPI, that's your prerogative. But manufacturers comments, whose only agenda is to sell their products, do not really have a place in that discussion. And it's one thing if he comes in here making those types of comments, but it's also just as bad if you are here to shill for him. If you want to make personal comments about his products and provide your personal opinion based on your listening experiences, then that is a welcome discussion. But I don't think it's appropriate to make a post that is just presenting his marketing spewage.

LOL. Yep I remember when he was deriding anything above 44.1...until he could do higher.....
Chill Edward, I wrote "nothing comes even close to CMP2", if i didn't like it, I wouldn't be here in the first place. I'm trying to discuss different matters though and get your opinion on those.
Greets,
Marcin
No worries Marcin, I am indeed always chilled. However, you don't get to play "holier-than-thou" and TELL me to chill. That's not necessary.
You say you wrote "nothing comes even close to CMP2", but you wrote much more than that. You came in to a dedicated thread about an ASIO only music player and presented what appeared to be your opinion that ASIO sucks. You quoted Gordon, but presented it as if it was your opinion as well. This is why I responded. I was just asking for clarification on this topic.
And also I just wanted to remind you that it is against the rules for trade people to post advertisements and sales information about the products they sell. And if you do that for them, then it just makes you look like a shill. So perhaps you can just desist with quoting Gordon and his marketing information.
On the other hand, we welcome anything you have to contribute to this project/hobby and help further any advancements.
Cheers.
