oops... it's working now... thanks!

same for me, can see the icon but then "Requested resource could not be found".

No issues with PS Audio DSD on 2019 Core Audio PC; these are my "standard" steps: Install Windows Server Core 2019 Install FOD Install AO and reboot Run Service Tool (AO:\st.cmd) to set Autologon Config ethernet adapters Run ao/tools/ao -wasapi Service_tool and install Hd Audio driver, allow all red windows, exit (although I am not sure if this is needed...) Install PS Audio DAC Driver Install JplayFemto Install Process Lasso Verify via devmgmt.msc that the audio drivers are installed correctly Run AO install / setup Fidelizer Set up Process Lasso KS and WASAPI are working well, although I switched to WASAPI because on 2019 / AO3 this is a clear winner for me. Good luck! Herman.

Hi Phil, fully agree with the enthusiasm about SQ mentioned above. I started with 2019 GUI on my Audio PC ( Femto, PS Audio DSD dac), was impressed, then moved to 2019 Core and was twice as impressed: I can hear the air between the cello strings... With 2.20 I preferred KS, now WASAPI is a clear winner. 2019 Core & AO 3 is a golden combination. When 3 GA is available I will upgrade my Control PC. Thanks... and please continue dreaming, imagining and surprising us!

Is there any PSAudio DSD user able to play DSD in WASAPI (Dual PC FEMTO)? I can play anything in KS and up to 24/192 in WASAPI but no DSD. Not sure if it is related to FEMTO or to AO. Thanks!

yes I can confirm that, amazing

Hi Phil, a happy listener's experiences: OS: windows server standard 2016 gui (controlpc) and 2019 core (audiopc) DAC/DDC: PS Audio Directstream = USB connected Driver/Version: USB ver 1.61 Need to press F8: No Player: 2PC JPLAYfemto KS working: YES WASAPI working: YES (!!!!) Needed HD Audio Driver: installed but not sure if it was necessary Thank you!!

Could you make the dialogs consistent, either Y(es)/N(o) or E(nable)/D(isable).

Phil, I would say donations are more appropriate for showing appreciation for free software. Probably that’s why they don’t come spontaneously to you, also because you used “free upgrade” as a selling point. It would have been better to offer the W2016 / WASAPI functionality as an upgrade, great value for the money and many people would go for it. Anyway I really do appreciate what you are doing for this community. So instead of charity I’ll transfer the amount of a product upgrade to you because it really is a major upgrade. Thanks!

Thanks. Although I really enjoyed W2012 Core / KS I must say that WASAPI is again a major step forward, especially the details and pureness of mid ranges are awsome. I did not yet read a lot about experiences of folks moving from KS to WASAPI.. Anyone? A BIG thank you Phil!

Yes that was it... thanks!

I am using a PS Audio DSD with JPLAY, Dual PC, W2012 Core, Kernel Streaming, UltraStream. Yesterday I connected my new Regen but now I don't have Kernel Streaming anymore on my Audio PC (Asio works ok). Any thoughts? Thanks! Herman.

I have learned to trust my ears more than my eyes when it comes to SQ (tubes don't measure very well either..). Years ago I moved from Accuphase DP-78 to SB Touch because it sounded better, then switched to JPLAY dual PC, then to W2012 and now I switched again, HDMI. I think this will turn out to be a paradigm shift - we reached the limits of USB, it takes great effort to get good sound from USB and that's where it differs from HDMI: HDMI sounds effortless when I connect it to my NAD M51. Will there be new technologies that will sound even better? Definitively - and that's why this is such a great hobby and adventure.

I can confirm the great sound that can be achieved with HDMI. My previous set up included a dual PC USB set up with JPLAY, which is not bad at all. However after trying the HDMI connection directly to my NAD M51 (JRIVER / JPLAY, W2012 R2 Audiophile Optimizer) the advantages of HDMI over USB were absolutely clear: effortless, extended freq range, soundstage. I never touched USB again. It's amazing that so many people try to improve USB SQ with expensive components whereas the design of HDMI is simply much better.
