Separate DSD Processor/DSD Converter plugins for track extraction into DSD/DST encoded files. Direct DSD playback for compatible devices. Decoder is capable of playing back Super Audio CD ISO images, DSDIFF, DSF and DSD WavPack files.

But getting an insight into these matters will make my transition to JRiver more comfortable. Super Audio CD Decoder input plugin for foobar2000. I may be trying to peek under the hood, which I'm not supposed to do. Why is this huge difference in allowed range? Or does Foobar's output buffer really correspond to JRiver's PRE-buffering, which can also be set up to 20 seconds? My understanding is that a bigger output buffer may improve stability. Which implementation is better for performance and isolation from other 3rd party processes that may interfere with WASAPI playback?Ģ) Foobar2000's output buffer can be set up to 20 seconds. The main reason I ask this question: does it make sense to try to increase CPU priority of some of JRiver related processes, to avoid potential sound dropouts in the future? But I'm also curious why Foobar's WASAPI gets dedicated Windows process initiated upon playback. JRiver does not start a separate process. Is this because it's already optimized in this respect? As an example, I noticed that when I use the WASAPI event style in Foobar, it starts a new Windows process called WASAPIHost64 (or something to this effect), and this process gets a higher than Normal CPU priority. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the below topics.ġ) Foobar2000 allows one to set high CPU priority for its spawned threads (under Options -> Playback -> Advanced). This made come up with a few related questions.

However, this issue never occurred with Foobar2000. I've recently solved (I hope for good) an occasional sound dropout issue with JRiver related to Windows Defender (for which I'm idebted to JRiver's wiki and Forum posts). I'm in the process of switching from Foobar2000 to JRiver (not due to SQ, which is identical to my ears, but because I like JRiver's features and GUI).
