However, I believe that with WASAPI you have to change your settings from 44.1 to 96 to 44.8 as you play different files, no? I figured out how to change the settings in tools/options and Asio4all seems to change settings on the fly. Are there any drawbacks to using it? kiritz

Hi All, Good news for Dragonflyers in new issue of Absolute Sound. See p. 39-- there is a program, ASIO4ALL which, when correctly installed, will match your sample rate for each track automatically. I.e., you don't have to reset your sampling rate manually each time you change from one rate to another. This is great, except I can't figure out how to install it. Supposed to "select it in your music player software." I just downloaded J River and I see no place where I can select ASIO4ALL. I see the exe file in my programs, but not in my player anywhere. Any suggestions? kiritz

Thanks much. JRiver looks excellent. However, there are so many options and settings to consider that I fear I might get lost in this program. Are there any simple but effective alternatives such as decibel for the mac? Decibel requires nothing elaborate, but plays all the high resolution files I use just fine.

Hi Guys, First of all, I just purchased the dragonfly and am enjoying it quite a bit on a Mac using decibel and some high end iem's plugged directly into it. Regarding burn-in, I have been playing some 24/96 music files and after just an hour of use I can hear what to me is a significant improvement....less edge on the top end, a bit wider soundstage. Maybe it's my imagination...but I don't think so. Second, and more importantly, I would like to get some suggestions on what player to use on my windows 7 laptop I use for traveling. Looks like most of the audiophile suitable players are written for Mac systems. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, kiritz

Hi all, Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I am looking at reviews of the Apogee Big Ben clocking device, and curious if anyone has used it. It would seem that this is a terrific product for removing jitter from a digital signal, whether it be from a redbook source or high resolution source. I am working on improving my system and am tempted to try this $1400 box. Thanks in advance. Stewart
