6.2. Configuring a PC with Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

A PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 can use hiFace DAC in four different ways: Direct

Sound (DS)*, Kernel Streaming (KS), WASAPI and ASIO. DS is suitable for players which

can’t operate in Kernel Streaming mode nor with WASAPI or for Internet streaming; KS

can be chosen (for better performance) with players which can operate in Kernel

Streaming mode (such as FooBar, Winamp, Monkey Media, JRiver). WASAPI (Windows

Audio Standard API) is a standard interface for audio players which allows to get the same

performance of KS with applications which can’t operate in KS mode, at the cost of higher

CPU load. Much the same can be told about ASIO.

*Please note that DS mode doesn’t allow for hi-end performance, as the various audio

streams from various sources (OS synthetizer, Windows sounds, audio player…) are

mixed together. This mode is nevertheless

mandatory

when enjoying streaming material,

such as Youtube videos or Spotify programmes.

6.2.1. Configuring for Direct Sound with Windows Vista, Windows 7 or

Windows 8

Open control Panel and select Hardware and Sounds. Under Audio, click on Manage

Audio Devices. The following windows will appear, in which hiFace DAC is listed. Set

hiFace DAC as predefined device. Then, click on OK.
