BASS
« on: February 04, 2014, 10:56:20 am »

No matter how I set up JRiver 10 I am not getting proper base; I have changed everything one way or another so any forthcoming suggestions are appreciated.    (BTW, other audio playback programs sound the bass out using asio, wasapi, etc.)

You shouldn't need to do anything to get proper bass.  Maybe more details about what you're doing would help.

I have tweaked every option that I can find in JRiver and yet my bass lacks real luster.  I have been to CA many times and your wiki  as well.  Perhaps a real, "Step by Step" may assist.
Thank you

Just to be clear, are you using Media Center version 10?

It's possible that whatever your audio output is, is bypassing any driver-based processing that is exaggerating the bass.
 
Try changing your output to DirectSound and see if that helps.

I no longer use the Emotiva setup..  I am now USB- Benchmark DAC- FOCAL Solo6 including their sub...  Switched out my power cords to 15 amp by TRIODE & this "opened up detail, etc." on the other players I use, e.e. Winamp w/ Isotope, AIMP3, CORE, etc.   I just want to get the "full benefits of MC" that so many of you are already appreciating.  Thank you,  enjoy.

repositioning your speakers/sub closer to the rear wall/corner will help with adding bass.
