Hey Racer...

"Sound quality is subjective and I felt there was no audible gains to be had running ASIO to my system."

When you said this, what were you comparing to ASIO? I'm not hunting for a debate - I'm collecting data on what people think about different methods.

Myself, I find kernel streaming and ASIO to sound pretty much the same. Directsound v2.0 sounds pretty good too.

Then again, I have my system set up so that no other app can ever stream ANY audio while my player is in use. (I select "no sounds" for system sounds, and use the onboard sound codec for all default devices, and check the "use only default devices" box).

Cheers,
Presto
