I keep trying Foobar, but I have not figured out how to configure the UI to be more like Windows Media Player.
I like the icons, just drag them over in to a temporary list. I don't want the effort to make preset lists. I only know what mood I am in, not necessary what I want to hear until I look at it. Winamp has promise and Audionirvana has some nice features.
Now if WASAPI bypasses the windows drivers, does it allow EQ API? I am currently running that as it allows the variable Q I could not get off my JDS Objective. But I was thinking about the larger Schiit tone control so it could act on my CD player and feed for background music from the HT room.
I don't have access to a 12 year old who is a wizz at this stuff. Neighbor kids are more like 6.
Considering if I want tor run the Toping as the preamp, but I do not like volume in the digital domain as by definition it reduces resolution. I never listen @ 100%. But a analog volume, even if done on a chip, compresses the dynamic range does so we don't lose resolution until it drops below the threshold of hearing. So, probably keeping the Asgard as a pre. But I have a bin full of perfectly good ALPS pots and some resister switches so I could do a passive really easy and move the Schiit to my desk . Or buy a passive balanced pre and get a March amp, run diff. Leaning VIdar though. I want to understand more about current feedback vs voltage feedback and how it manages beta droop. Not as big an issue on MOSFET, but bi-polars do have that issue. I know from experience, the answer is not excessive feedback, as in Self. On the other hand, I am not convinced 5 W class A FETs are the answer either. Sorry Nelson.
I guess, is the volume control done in the digital domain or in the analog domain but in a chip?
BB King is sounding quite nice.
Are there any experts here in the Piedmont up for some lessons to an old fart? Plenty of cold ones in supply.
