ASIO is one of three audio APIs that audio focused applications use to interface with your DAC directly, without Windows getting in the way with its own processing like sample rate conversion and mixing.
staticv3 has already answered pretty well. For playing music you can use various ways to send the D10 the signal. With Foobar for instance you could use ASIO which bypasses the issues with Windows audio stack. Other players besides Foobar are able to do this so it depends upon what you are using for playback software.
Seems kinda weird. Are you using default Windows driver? If so, maybe install Topping one? If not, maybe uninstall and use default Windows one.
I hate to say it but if it keeps happening a windows reset or reinstall can work wonders. Sometimes we load up a lot of software and all kinds of background stuff gets installed. I would like to keep my audio machine clean anyway.
I've got one also, there's a couple of things to check. Get the Autoruns utility and check for any old sound card drivers which may be causing a crash. You'd be surprised how many of them never uninstall completely. Also in power management and device manager turn it off for USB and all the hub/ports in device manager (there's a power management tab for each). Also if you see which motherboard chipset you have, getting new drivers from the maker of your USB chipset is much more current than Windows updates in most cases. It's most likely an old driver conflicting, but also turning off USB port power management is always a good idea anyway. With Autoruns you can really look under the hood and see what's loading. The built in Windows msconfig program can do this to some extent in turning off services, but Autoruns lets you see everything.
Audio DACs such as the DO200 can only input pure 2ch PCM stereo signals.
So turning off MQA won't help? The D0200 needs a direct feed via USB is what you saying no bridging from another Dac?
This symptom has nothing to do with MQA.
It is as good as it can be if all you want is DAC with USB input and 4V balanced line out.
I only need USB and balanced out for A90/HD800s
I have been using the 10B with my main amp for nearly a year. No complaints, I like its simplicity. I looked on the web and the Foscurite Solo appears to be an amp/Mixer, not a DAC.
Solo is a DAC and ADC. D10 DAC is electrically superior, but audibly? Probably not.
Oops, had to go to the sight a second time and read more carefully...
I use it for USB to S/PDIF to AES/EBU into genelecs.
The same question has been posted several times in the past.
@Toku hello! I was researching this subject for the last hours before I arrive here.
