Hello,
I love the MC13 interface and functionality, but the main reason I paid $40 to upgrade was for WASAPI support. WASAPI exclusive mode in XMPLAY works flawlessly in comparison. When I listen closely on soft music in MC13 I can hear occasional pops/clicks in the background. It's subtle, but it's there. WASAPI with exclusive mode unchecked does not have the issue.
Some additional details:
-No plug-ins running, and no visualizations
-Output to USB DAC, open device for exclusive access and flush device buffers both checked. I have also had flush device buffers unchecked, no difference.
-Buffering set to .05 seconds and prebuffer set to 2 seconds. I have tried different settings on both of these, no change.
-Playing 16/44.1 stereo FLAC files
-DSP settings are unchecked. I have also tried setting the output format to 16/44.1. No change.
-System info:

Please help. This is the first time I've ever paid for a media player, and it's disconcerting that this does not function.
Thanks,
Greg
