Core audio stream technology is generally used by high-fi audio workstations. It
incorporates ASIO, KS and WASAPI, all of which are supported perfectly by the
Questyle Audio CMA800i.
According to PC general audio processing procedures, all sound from applications
and systems is processed by SRC, going through the lengthy system of processing
and hardware layer transmission, and then is output to the external device. The
output data is totally different after all those procedures. To output the pure, original
and “bit-perfect” data, we must open a high-speed and dedicated channel for the
audio device, that is the core audio stream technology.
5) Click "Finish" and restart the PC.
6) Installation on Win XP, Vista OS is the same. No more explanation here
Core Audio Stream Technology
The Questyle Audio CMA800i supports ASIO and KS on Win 7, Vista, Win XP
systems, and supports WASAPI audio output on Win7 32Bit/64Bit, Win8
32Bit/64Bit operating system. For example, when you enable Exclusive
Mode between the Questyle Audio CMA800i and player software (like
Foobar2000), you can't control the volume through system controller, the sound
from the system and other applications (such as Email Alerts) will not be heard
through the Questyle Audio CMA800i, because the system has opened the core
audio stream channel for the Questyle Audio CMA800i and the audio data is sent
directly get to the DAC of the Questyle Audio CMA800i with high-speed.
If you don't set the output to the core audio stream, you will find the sample rate
shown on the Questyle Audio CMA800i is different from that of playing the original
music, and it is locked at 48K or 44.1K. When you finish the following settings, you
will find that the shown sample rate is the same as that of the original music playing,
which is telling you that the PC is putting out "bit-perfect" data now.
Let’s take Win 8 32bit operating system as example, to see how to setup JRiver
