SMSL SU8 Help

[Vanboozin]

I'm trying to output 16 bit audio using foobar v.1.4.1, however xmos is reporting playback at 32 bit for some reason, tried Both Asio and Wasapi.
Cant seem to get 16 bit output. All i'm after is bit perfect playback...

Installed the "SU-8 Driver 2018-06-19" from Shenzen driver page here. http://www.smsl-audio.com/download.asp

I have another DAC & i'm able to select 16,24 or 32 bit output with that driver..not sure what i'm missing with the SU8 ?

Not sure if this info will be helpful to you, but some music playback software will automatically output at a higher bit-depth if it senses that the DAC is capable of (or works natively at) the higher bit-depth. This does not impact the bit-perfect aspect - nothing is being resampled; the 16-bit source is just being padded with zeros to make it into a 32-bit stream that then gets sent out to the DAC.
