Support - (fb2k) / Bitperfect audio in v2.x?
Last post by RJVB -I've been using Foobar2000 for years as the main driver on an old netbook that's perfect as an audio source for the AV amp in my stereo system. I use wasapi to send the raw, unconverted bit stream into the amp over HDMI, and then let the amp do its DAC magic.
I was still running v1.5, and thought I'd update.
After an initial scare about the UI (the "Columns UI" component wasn't transferred automatically), installing the other components I used to use and going over the settings I did a test with one of my files from 2L Recording (5:1 96kHz) and was disappointed to see the amp indicating 48kHz stereo instead. That's with the "non-exclusive" HDMI output.
I don't see a specific "wasapi" output device in the list.
Is the kind of playback I'm looking for still possible in FB2000 v2.x and if so, how do I set it up? I haven't exhausted the various combinations of non-exclusive vs exclusive with or without using events that can be configured (via 2 different subpanels in the prefs ... practical :-/) but I never understood the difference between those in v1.x (they all still do what I'm looking for).
Thanks in advance!
PS: not looking for discussion about whether or not I could hear a difference in the results; I know I probably can't as long as the poor old netbook CPU can keep up
