    DAC different sound in Linux

    The thing is, I've been testing on Strawberry Music Player, which just uses ALSA through the sound card, and I still hear a difference between Linux and Windows. It must be something other than Pulseaudio. I don't know how to check out the Windows driver. I'm guessing it's proprietary, or...

    DAC different sound in Linux

    Hi everyone, I discovered ASR a while ago now, which led me to buy the TempoTec Sonata HD Pro(still in v.3.0 since I don't know how to upgrade it to 3.3.1), which I've coupled with my HD6XXs. This has been my entry setup for a year now, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I've been using it...
