In Reply to: Does it work with M-Audio Transit? posted by Scrith on February 23, 2007 at 15:54:38:
Best way to find out: Just give it a try. Install the demo.I don't see why it shouldn't work. If your device is currently working with standard ASIO4ALL and Windows Setup.
Follow Ups:
I have not gotten ASIO4ALL to work with Off-Ramps or Transit, only the Otachan ASIO.I cannot imagine USB-Audio driver sounding better than Otachan ASIO 47a, but it may get rid of the pops and ticks easier for those first wetting their toes in computer audio, since it is lower latency.
No I think you have this confused. The usb-audio driver replaces the driver for the soundcard not the ASIO (Otachan) plugin for foobar.And AFAIK the M-Audio driver already bypasses usbaudio.sys.
Also, when I tried the demo of the Ploytec usb-audio driver, "usbaudio.sys" was not overwritten or deleted.
A music driver is not the same thing as a Foobar2000 ASIO plug-in.
Steve.Make up your mind. Just try the demo - the demo beep is annoying - I know - however, it should suffice to get an idea how it sounds!
Otachan is still channeling through usb-audio.sys - right? I think it's worth a try.Would be interesting to hear if your Pace-Car equipped system will show any difference. Assuming that the driver removes lots of jitter front-up there shouldn't be any difference in sound on your system!
Even if it does work, it will not work at 24/96. This is why the special driver is needed. I and most of my customers listen to SRC upsampled music at 24/96.
Agreed. Pro-Soundcards coming with propriatary (ASIO) drivers most probably are not fully supported on all features.As I mentioned earlier. People can try it. It doesn't cost anything.
The Pace-car will still make a HUGE difference no matter what the driver or firmware does. The jitter comes from the PLL inside the USB converters. The Pace Car eliminates the effect of this PLL.
What I mean here, if your pace-car is able to clean up
a bit perfect stream from jitter, it wouldn't really matter what jitter is coming in. Any change on the PC setup, playing from RAM, this player or that player, battery supply, fanless asf. shouldn't make any difference, as long as the stream is bit-perfect.Current discussons around here would be useless if there'd be a close to perfect soundcard or DAC.
I understand. You are correct. In fact, I'm currently using a Freeway, not an Off-Ramp to drive one of my Pace-Cars. It's a waste to use an Off-Ramp. Sounds identical. Changes at the PC, other than upsampling dont make any difference.This is why I'm so interested in interfacing the Pace-Car to a Sonos and a Squeezebox. The data is perfect. The problem is the jitter and signal integrity.
