What software for 24/192 playback on PC?


How do I play 24/192 files on my Windows based PC? Do I need any specific software? Thanks in advance.

need special driver sw if usb outputted. no music player will fix that. ok for other interfaces.
If you use a PC, make sure that you use either Kernel Streaming plug-in or WASAPI to bypass the damaging core audio kernel. Avoid ASIO.

If you want the very best results, avoid PC. Use Mac with Amarra, Pure Music or AyreWave etc. Mac Mini is the most trouble-free and has the best USB infrastructure.

Assume your post relates to setting up your Zodiac Plus?
Congratulations, BTW. Looks like an impressive entry into the high-resolution DAC field.

I had begun a sentence with the standard dogma that Windows OS's don't provide native USB 2.0 support for 24/192, and require an additional driver to be installed. However, it appears that your Zodiac + supercedes that with its proprietary USB bus, with apparently no extra software drivers needed, even for 24/192?

In any event, the newer versions of several PC-based media players make it very simple to accomplish bit-perfect, exclusive use, high resolution data streaming that equals what has been around for a while on the Mac side of the equation, often at a much higher price.

I'm running JRiver MC15 with Ayre QB-9 (plus Thesycon USB driver) and find it highly satisfactory with many extra, easily accessible features, including memory playback and core algorithms that operate in 64-bit mode.
