![]() ![]() after that foobar-dsd-asio to be selected as output and after double clicking select the chord asio driver within that and set the streaming method as native or dop. also a foobar asio component to be installed. it has an executable file which installs the sacd plugin. I used sacd decoder plugin for foobar from CNET. may be while installing the chord dac driver it's better to connect the dac. with foobar dac need to be connected for dsd playback. dsd is typicality difficult to dream with foobar but once set it is better than j river. foobar is more direct imho and it does not interfere with the bits. I think in j river maximum bits can be manually fixed. the sound is slightly more open and dynamic but with slight extra energy while bit perfect foobar streaming with out any padding or changes sound a bit smoother. I don't know if j river adds dither too or plain padding but I have felt that this process of padding changes the sound. foobar is a work horse, JRiver is a show horse, you could say. JRiver has too many bells and whistles for my taste, and my impression is that foobar just puts out what you put into it, whereas JRiver sort of adds its own flavor a bit. J river pads the bit output to the maximum supported by the device which is 32bit, even if the flac is only 16bit or 24bit. I haven’t tried eMM, but I like foobar better than JRiver. ![]()
