Hi all

Does anyone know if VLC Media Player is actually capable of bit perfect playback?

My RME ADI-2 @MC_RME comes with great bit perfect test files. These music programs all "pass" bit perfect test, with Roon, Audirvana etc.

I make sure to disable software DSP and set volume to exactly 100%. Same rates are set correctly too. That's why all these other programs pass.

But I can't get VLC Media Player to pass the test. No matter what I try.

Can anyone get it to work?

Found it, it was in advanced audio settings.

Had to disable resampler, which was previously "automatic".
