I imagine this question has been asked before, so sorry for any redundance.
I have two zones set up, one is in my den where the mediocre speakers are hardwired into the computer where MC is running. The other is my living room where my nice Klipsch's are wired into my yamaha receiver that is on my wireless network.
When the den zone is active, I can get to playback settings (DSP studio and options) a couple of ways, when I go to options I can only select the default direct sound, anything else will not work correctly.
Even though most of my music is hi res flac's, it looks like I am only getting mp3 quality. Seems like I should be able to use WASAPI here, or ASIO, maybe I just need to get a decent sound card.
When I switch zones to my living room though, which has a good sound system, my choices are even more limited! DSP studio is not available at all and my playback device is generic DNLA, any other selection does not play well, so again I am at mp3 quality.
Why am I spending money on hi res files if I only get mp3 quality ?
Several screenshots follow to illustrate this, sorry if its superfluous, I'm a visual learner
First, the den. Well, apparently you cant attach very much here, I'll try responding to my own post with the pictures..
