Hello Maxim, Oh, I see that you already made the update to 1.37 :-) I will try it out this evening, while watching the football match Denmark vs. Belgium .... thanks. Have a great day. Jens

Hello Maxim, Thanks for looking into this :-) Yes, I since 1.3.2. You did something with 1.3.1, and maybe this will point to a direction in troubleshooting, but this time it affects not only the Asio2, but also the official asio driver. I only have two crash logs, because mostly Foobar2000 just dies without a log. One log is attached to my post above and the other to this post. Best regards, Jens

Hello Maxim, I just discovered that the issue actually affects playback (see my post above), when using the latest SACD decoder 1.3.6, and probably from 1.3.2 and above. I also believe there is a small change in sound quality in general. So I have returned to the old SACD decoder 1.3.1, which has no issues. You can not just remove the new 1.3.6 driver and reinstall the old 1.3.1. To get it working again, I replaced the whole appdata\foobar2000 folder with my backup. C:\Users\"user xxxx"\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000...

Hello Maxim, I just discovered that the issue actually affects playback (see my post above), when using the latest SACD decoder 1.3.6, and probably from 1.3.2 and above. I am getting pops and clicks when playing music with high peaks after I reinstalled the old SACD decoder 1.3.1 and updated to the latest 1.3.6. I also believe there is a small change in sound quality in general. So I have returned to the old SACD decoder 1.3.1, which has no issues. You can not just remove the new 1.3.6 driver and...

Hello Maxim, I just had an issue with the SACD decoder from version 1.3.2 and upwards to 1.3.6. I have only played SACDs in stereo for at while, and suddenly Foobar2000 crashed when playing SACDs in 5.1 multichannel, mostly without even making a crash report. It just simply went down. Stereo is working perfectly. To resolve the issue I reinstalled old versions and I had to go all the way back to version 1.3.1, which I knew was working, and now it is working again. Now it's even working when I update...

Hello M Z, Didier, Thanks for your replies :-) I don't know, but think that toslink / optical out is also only software/digital conversion to spdif pcm, and not actually converted by the DA converter? So to make a real comparison, I think you have to send the analog output to the analog input and record it. My RME Fireface 800 is locked down in a closet and not easily accessed to make analog connections, but maybe one day I will have the time to do it. To verify the transparency of dBpoweramp conversion...

Hello M Z, Thanks for your comparison :-) The two recordings are 01 and 02, which you say are identical, while 03 is the orginal converted to 24 bit. The difference could be caused by noise from the software recording device (DIGIcheck), or it could be the 24 bit conversion not being transparent, which it should be? I have the same experience as you, I don't HEAR any difference between the recorded vs orginal samples. But on the other hand, when played with the Asio2 vs Asio, then I hear a difference....
