Foobar2000 cannot output 32 bit fixed point, because it uses floats internally (which can handle at most 25 bits) -- hence what you witness.
This should not be the case. The RME ASIO driver is multi-client and can be shared between applications as long as the sample rate is the same.3. ASIO switches sample rate automatically on the DAC. But it completely locks any other windows sounds and takes exclusive control of the sound engine. Not ideal unless you really just want to listen to music.
That would be the $200 Schiit Modius.I've always pondered a dac only version.
While I generally agree to "if it ain't broken, don't fix it", there are enhancements and improvements with new firmware. Plus if you write down your current version, you can download it and revert later if you wish. So other than fearing the update process bricking the unit (knocks on wood), there is little to risk.Confession: never updated firmware in my pro. Sounds great, does everything I need and usually I don't change a running system (except my computer).
Should I update?
I did update mine, all fine so farI already did, as I like to be always up to date
I see the sameFrom what I understood the update has to do with the USB receiver so the V.34 in the start screen of the device is right yes?
dumb question: Does this jitter improvement mean any need of EQ setting change based on Oratory1990 for headphones?Latest firmware version 249/98 for the Pro and 35/34 for the DAC below:

MC:
"if one measures jitter attenuation over frequency the attenuation will be quite high at higher frequencies, and quite low at lower ones. The simple reason is that one needs to follow the incoming clock, and if that one varies slowly or a bit quicker (intentional detuning, varipitch) you don't want to loose sync. But that would usually happen when the jitter filter does not let through such slow changes.
In version 249 and 35 we finished what we had begun in version 238 and 34. In those versions the jitter attenuation was 4 x times higher than before, but a bit unstable in the low frequency area (which caused these low level nearby sidebands reported above). This is now resolved. The new SteadyClock works flawlessly with no difference to before, but jitter attenuation now has a corner frequency no longer around 200 Hz, but at around 1 Hz. That means more than 50 dB jitter reduction also at 50 Hz and similar real-world jitter frequencies. Absolutely top-notch for any kind of incoming clock signal.
Later on I will show the difference in behaviour with measurements on my APx555B."
No, it means the low frequency jitter is reduced, meaning a little less distortion overall. This does not change the amplitude in any frequency, so EQ settings should remain the same.dumb question: Does this jitter improvement mean any need of EQ setting change based on Oratory1990 for headphones?
Can you not see screws under the feet? If not then there might be some type of cover you'd have to peel. Or maybe they just screw off entirely. I had one and I remember them being removable, I could be mistaken though.Slightly different question...
I have my ADI-2 Pro FS racked with the rack ears. but the feet are obstructing the rack space right under it. How should I go about removing these?
No screws, and no cover as far as I can tell.Can you not see screws under the feet? If not then there might be some type of cover you'd have to peel. Or maybe they just screw off entirely. I had one and I remember them being removable, I could be mistaken though.
The entire feet do not twist either?No screws, and no cover as far as I can tell.
How do we get notices when new firmware is available?BTW, in firmware 249/98 for the Pro we overlooked a change for the SRC. Version 249/99 will finalize that one in the next days (level with SRC is 3 dB too hot).
