Hi All,
Just had a go at setting up DSD playback on FooBar2000 with my brand new NuPrime uDSD.
I must say, it was a mission. But eventually got it to work. Here is my system setup and the settings that worked for me.
1) Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Anniversary update
2) NuPrime uDSD DriverSetup v6.55 installed
3) Foobar v1.3.12 installed
4) Foobar Components installed: foo_input_sacd-0.9.11; foo_out_asio
5) Installed the ASIO Proxy. Eventually UNINSTALLED this as it is not needed, and with all the guides followed on various forums, advising to do this step, I could not get it to work anyway.
6) Under Foobar Preferences:
- Playback: Output: >> Device set as DSD : ASIO : NuPrime ASIO Driver
- Playback: Output: >> Output format set as 24-bit
- Playback: Output: ASIO: >> Just have the NuPrime ASIO Driver Listed
- Playback: Output: ASIO: >> I selected the tick box for "Use 64-bit ASIO drivers", works without this as well.
- Tools: SACD: >> Output Mode set to DSD
- Tools: SACD: >> PCM Samplerate set to 352800
- Tools: SACD: >> Preferable Area set to Stereo
7) Play a DSD file. You can find a sample file on this page to test: https://www.oppodigital.com/hra/dsd-by-davidelias.aspx
8) When the file starts playing the little blue light on the NuPrime uDSD face jumps from PCM to DSD, and sweet DSD sounds fill your ears. What happens after this, I guess varies.. :O0:
Hope this helps someone. Comments welcome.
Cheers,
W
