By accessing the drop-down menu available in the “Advanced” tab it will be possible to
choose one of the system’s available configurations. Once a configuration is chosen, the
system will automatically convert any audio signal with different sampling frequency and
resolution so that the
YOUNG MKIII
will always work at the sampling frequency and
resolution set by the user.
Should the user need the operating system not to process the audio to be sent to the
YOUNG MKIII
, or when the limits of system settings need to be overcome, it is necessary to
use a player able to directly interface to the driver, using a transfer mode like Kernel
Streaming, WASAPI or ASIO, all are “bit-perfect” modes as they ensure that no signal
changes occur during the transfer from the player to the
YOUNG MKIII
.
8.3.5. Configuring the player: FooBar and JRiver Media Center
A player able to communicate with the driver without using the operating system usually
delivers better performance with respect to players which rely on Windows to transport
audio.
Amongst the problems or limits more often observed when the latter kind of players is
used, is the 192kHz limit, the lack of compatibility with DSD and the fact that all various
sampling frequencies are always converted to the sampling frequency chosen by the user
in the Control Panel.
As examples, following are some suggestions to use the
YOUNG MKIII
with two well-known
media players, a free one and a commercial one.
