Hi Bert,

Waht is the maximum word length and the maximum sampling frequency of the USB-SPDIF convertor. I just want to play around with the upsampling features in Foobar to see what it does but I don't want to destroy any hardware with it.

At the moment my best results are with the Kernel Streaming, core and playback set to realtime and with a memory buffer of 200MB. The only small problem with the kernel streaming was that the streaming buffer can only be set to 20mS, above that the playback freezes very easy. This small buffer shouldn't be a problem though because playback is not directly from the harddrive bu from memory.

I have also compared my Mac against my PC and have found the PC to be sounding much better.

Has anyone tried to feed the USB-SPDIF convertor with it's own power supply ?
