A dedicated driver provides hardware acceleration via ASIO running in kernel mode. ASIO4all is a user mode driver. The Roland interface I showed in my previous post has a physical sample rate button, and it is the only way to change the unit's hardware sample rate. The Windows audio properties only shows a single sample rate, depending on the button's position.

My Wadia 121 likewise allows you to select your sample rate, this is pretty standard..
"Aerith" said:I am curious: What exactly do you expect me to dig for?
1) My AVR displays the sample/bitrate of the file in question in the "signal info" panel when I use WASAPI-Exclusive. It does not do that when using Direct Sound.
2) I get a rather annoying error message by other programs that want to use the audio device, some even fail to start or lock-up completely.
What do I expect you to dig for? Some evidence that the files you're listening to are making it to your DAC without being changed (unless that's what you intended). For instance, I can use a resampler in Foobar to upconvert whatever 16/44 material I'm listening to to 96khz, and confirm that that's actually taking place:
Native 24/96 and 24/192 files will likewise be passed correctly to my DAC. Just from looking at Bennet's screenshots, I'm pretty sure I could configure his gear to work properly without errors, but it seems like he's more interested in proving me wrong, so good luck with that I guess.
