A big fan too

Of Foobar, not so much. Before discovering the wonders of plugins i would compare it to JRiver.
Danny, you're da man! Admin works, now I have to find out best settings. Which ones did you choose?
I can't look up them now, because I'm on a skiing holiday 🙂
According to the author, the default is already good :
1. After selecting Source and Target samplerates, the resampler suggests the optimal configuration. In most cases this is the best choise.

Have you had a look at the linked post ?

I am quite sure it is the the receiver. With my fireface 800 (192kHz specified receivers/transmitters) no problems occur.
Aslo, if I use (copper) Toslink instead of the optical connection on the affected devices no problems occur.
I have some 25Mbps receivers now but have not yet found the time to replaces the 15Mbps receivers.
That brings me to the last page in the thread. Do You use the #postnumber (right upper corner of the post) as a link?

Why do you think it works? Does foobar have a longer filter than the onboard one?

Yes I did.
It is post #2267 on page 227 of the "DIY Audio Analyzer with AK5397/AK5394A and AK4490" thread.
Strange - I ended up on #2521 using your link. But I have seen post about this linking problem before...

I have no idea why, but it is so much better, try it. And I'll have a look at Jriver too now...
Danny, take care of your ligaments...just today a friend destroyed some in the knee skiing.

The Resampler-V plugin uses the SOX and the SSRC libraries.
Those libraries are much more extensive then what you can put in the FPGA.
Also the Resampler-V plugin uses the much larger processing power and memory of your PC.

Yes that's true, but I have no desire whatsoever to compare. It is too obvious, no way back for me.

It might just be a different filter. I don’t doubt that you believe it’s better though. Would you care to try 1.19 linear vs partypak bank 2 EQHQv5 apo? The new stock filter has way more bass and maybe a bit “smoother”, can’t say which is better but partypak is theoretically sound. You can update filter by “download” in umanager and power cycle.
Yes, the filters are then defined and processed in the Resampler-V plugin.But when you feed 384 all user editable filters are skipped - so nothing to compare to.
You can compare the different Resampler-V options:
sox, ssrc, minimal, intermod, linear, pass and stop band, SB attenuation

Okay. I’ll try it with newNOS in the afternoon. I would love to put my Xeons to good use 🙂
Question, what’s the SOTA with SOX libraries, if a comparison can be drawn with the the filters we have in the FPGA

So what "filter" are u using when producing 384 kbps by the plugin.
Aren't u just up-sampling? Why a filter?

Yes, I'm upsampling.
With filter I meant the options I can select: minimal, intermod, linear, pass and stop band, SB attenuation

I have the Dam1121, so I don't know how the software and filter situation is right now. AFAIK I have Bambadoos filter pak installed.
