ASIO, its more stable
do remember to map all the channels as shown in the pic in the guide. matters if you're going to play ac3 and dts stuff as well as use dsp to simulate surround.
Resample to 96Khz and output at 24 bit

I dont use DTS or AC3 files on foobar... thre high quality stuff is all FLACs.

And how do I map all the channels ?? It isnt very clear. I have left it for now coz I listen only to stereo music.

if you play only stereo, then you dont have to map the surround channels

Stumbled across another SRC plugin for foobar
