Hello. I need some help setting up my CXA81 via ASIO driver. What is the ideal setting in CA Control Panel > Buffer Settings > Prefered ASIO Buffer Size ? Does the "Safe mode" have to be checked?

More info: In Speakers/Seadphnes Properties > Advanced > Default Format is selected to 24-bit/384kHz.

Thank you.

Since latency tends not to be a major concern for pure playback applications, you can pick a buffer size that yields stable operation under all conditions, like 1024 samples.

By default, ASIO operation should switch DAC sample rate according to playback material. If you want Foobar to upsample, you need to insert a resampler DSP into the processing chain, like the SoX-based resampler.
