current using WASAPI in push mode. Seems to have circumvented the clicking issue. Only clicks during rate change. ie 44.1 to 96
Also clicks on pause here and stop

Just received my unit today, it is driving my hd660s in low gain to absolute depths of transparency, even compared to chord hugo, the sixth filter in this device outperforms hugo on my headphones. I might just be crazy, but this unit is fantastic. Have the clicking and it doesn't bother me. Might be a bit bassy on speakers tho, but using the first filter i guess remedies that. Great device, thanks Amir. Will be ordering a few more just as backup, that's how great i think it is. Having tested chord hugo and mojo this device is at least on par with hugo or better and about 2 times better amp than in mojo.
Nice recommendation on Filter 6. Wow. I didnt use it until you have mentioned it. Now the transparency on my Aeon Flow Open is better on vocal tracksJust received my unit today, it is driving my hd660s in low gain to absolute depths of transparency, even compared to chord hugo, the sixth filter in this device outperforms hugo on my headphones.

Yeah, can't get my mind to how clean this sound is, found the filter 1 to be the best for speakers, least condensed, it really depends on the speakers/headphones.

From the manual pdf for everyone's reference
Some words.
If you have the bad idea to use foobar2000 to listen to good recordings, at least It has to be configured well. A decent soft player must allow changing the value of the buffer to 50 ms, which is ideal. NEVER 32 bits.

Kernel Streaming or ASIO/ASIO4ALL please. If there is no other solution, WASAPI. But NEVER Direct Sound (DS).

http://www.asio4all.org/
In my system, ASIO4ALL v2.13 sounds better (1709 and older compilations) than v2.14. Win 10 Pro 1709 64 bits, very optimized to play multimedia. Of course, ASIO4ALL has to be configured well and not be satisfied with the defect values.
Browser, soft video players and others soft use Direct Sound. With films is OK but not with good/very good audio recordings. If you only listen to the ugly and very bad modern commercial recordings forget my recommendations.
There is nothing wrong with Foobar...
Going from 16 to 24 to 32 bits incurs no loss of data, just extra bit padding - which provides additional headroom for soft volume control, if one desires that.You can and must change the 32 bits if the recordings are 24 bits. If you make resampler...

foobar2000 is a very good tool but a bad player to enjoy good/very good recordings. Like a player only with ISO (SACD), with the very good SACD plugin.

SACD plugin, like ASIO/ASIO4ALL, not with default values off course.

Interesting discussion over there. I think most people don't have SACD recordings. I only have a couple. The type of differences you are talking about require expensive gear. My main system is Monitor Audio RX6 and Denon AVR4200x. The desktop is DX3pro and Paradigm Shift A2. I don't think it makes much difference in my setups.
