The Music player

To use Hq- Reference DAC and DSD-DAC  with all the PCM sampling frequency and DSD sample rates, it is necessary 
configure the Music player (Foobar2000, Jriver  or similar ) to use: Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI), Kernel streaming (KS) 
or Audio Streaming Input Output (ASIO ).

Using the default Windows driver called Direct Sound (DS) the DAC unit will work only at a specific frequency set in the 
Windows Audio control panel.

To work with the Kernel streaming (KS) and the Audio Streaming Input Output (ASIO ) it is necessary set as predefined  a 
different sound device on Windows Audio control panel to keep the Amanero free for the application control.

The Kernel streaming (KS) is the lower level mode to operate on Audio device so there are lower stratification in the software 
stack. The Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) give less problems and it work very good with PCM and DSD tracks. Set the 
Windows with no sound to avoid that the system messages interference during the reproduction.

To use Foobar2000 is much more complex

 You can follows the guide on: http://hifiduino.wordpress.com or this following images.

download the last player SACD support   (foo_input_sacd-0.6.1.zip to get foo_input_sacd.dll and ASIOProxyInstall-0.6.0.zip)

ASIO4ALL  (ASIO4ALL 2.11 Beta1 to get foo_dsd_asio.dll)

Kernel Streaming support necessary to play 384KHz tracks (foo_out_ks.dll)

copy foo_input_sacd.dll, foo_dsd_asio.dll and foo_out_ks.dll in the directory C:\Program\foobar2000\components

If you select as output device the ASIO4ALL when you start to play any tracks an little icon will be insert in the Appl. Bar.
