Thanks Peter.

ASIO4ALL discarded.

I'll keep trying.

Just to be fair, I need to state, that even I'm experiencing the above issue, in my system XXHighEnd playback it's far better than Audirvana (via Mac) playing at 32/768 with the same dac and the same audio files.

Peter, thanks for your kind support.

I've just had access to the computer unit where I downloaded the same driver files in the past. I've uninstalled the previous ones, rebooted the system and installed the ones I retrieved. Rebooted again and physically connected the 3R, sadly still with no KS yet.

I'm actually experimenting with a borrowed SMSL m200 dac but also, with 32 bit/384khz limited upsampling inside XXHighEnd  (and no KS), even it's manufacturer states it has a 32/758khz maximum capacity.

Do You think installing ASIO4ALL could have any benefit at all?

Best regards,
Gerardo

Hi everybody, I hope you're doing well in these complicated months.

I'll start by commenting that I've been enjoying XXHighEnd since 2012, and I used to enjoy the most, XXHighEnd version 2.10 with a 32bit/768kHz capable Bursonaudio Conductor 3R dac, https://www.bursonaudio.com/products/conductor-3/ on a Windows 10, Intel i7 8th gen.

Unfortunately in the last months of 2020, I became forced to install Zoom, activating once again OS and allowing myself to connect my music computer to the web.

Weeks later, I noticed that my output device, starting with the (KS) characters was no more present. In the past I was able to upscale up to 32/706KHz playback.
I feel partly frustrated because I enjoyed better that exact setting than the actual 352Khz my dac is receiving.
I suspect my Windows program updated itself in any of my sessions or while sleeping, even though I tried (at least) to forbid those automatic updates.

Lastly, up to this day I am only capable to find in the Windows sound manager that my "Burson Audio XMOS USB speakers" are only capable of 32 bit, 384000hz (Studio Quality) instead of their full potential.

I would be so thankful if any of You had the kindness for supporting me to bring back KS playback again.
