Bit perfect digital audio out from pc?

[tylersmith]

I have an excellent external DAC. What is the simplest way to get a bit perfect digital output from my pc to the external DAC. (I want to bypass any Windows effect on the data.)

Would have to be USB DAC I imagine.

 

[MEgamer]

yes but dont USB have a lot of jitter since they are clockless devices?

You would have to bypass Kmixer. Check on www.computeraudiophile.com for details.

assuming he has windows vista or later version, just get asio4all

I have found elsewhere that Windows 7 can do the trick using WASAPI. If anyone cares, I can try to explain how to do it. This is a successor to asio4all, I believe. Some say that asio doesn't do the trick with Windows 7.

well wasapi is a lot easier yes.
