My friend had picked up the Encore MDac (mDAC) for $65 from Amazon. So i borrowed that for a few days for first hand experience..
Per the specs, it is Asynchronous USB DAC, but limited to 96/24.. So i guess no drivers required for windows...
I have Installed Foobar 2000 v1.3.8 on my Laptop, configured the default playback device as (mDAC Async - as shown in windows speaker icon). The 3.5mm output of the DAC is connected to RCA inputs of my AVR..
I installed WASAPI plugin for Foobar2000.. I could see both WASAPI Event & WASAPI Push under "devices" in Foobar...
If i select WASAPI Push mode, am able to get output...
If i select WASAPI Event mode, am not getting any output..
I even tried with Kodi (v15.1 - Isengard), I was able to select WASAPI SPDIF interface (mDAC-Async), am able to get output...
Any insights on why am not able to get output from foobar in Event mode? Am i missing any settings here ?
Moreover In the windows speaker icon, when i click on mDAC properties, I don't see 24 bit capable on the list.. It defaults to 16 bit and a max of 96 Khz sampling...
Appreciate your inputs...
