You can try http://fidelify.net/ and see if that works for you.I'll set it to 24, but I primarily listen via Spotify which doesn't let me bypass WASAPI

that's good news for my wallet too! thanksSomeone said $249, that they emailed Topping about it.
Following what was posted on headfi, when you install the DX7 via USB there is a "human interface device" that will be installed aswell.
This device on windows 10 will keep the computer awake.
Interestingly I just reinstalled my DX7 via USB (was using Coax output from SMSL xUSB) and it installed as 16/48kHz?
Any idea what is inside? Dual 9038Q2M also? Doesn't look balanced tho
Thank you. A desktop dac using the newest ESS 9038 chip mobile version with three inputs and digital volume. Will probably come with a switching supply, but a linear can more than likely be used also. A nice dac.All there is to go on is the info-graphic posted by @Commissariat , found in the DX7s manuals and drivers folder.

Spotify's lack of ASIO support is very frustrating. They have publicly stated that adding ASIO/WASAPI is not part of their plans going forward. I use Fidelify here and there (when I'm not listening to my digital library), the difference in quality is huge (to me), but it is a very flawed client. Where is the audiophile love, Spotify?!
The chromecast is an easy and cheap way of getting the bits out properly, but it does not handle gapless (unless fixed in the last few months) which I found annoying. There are ways of getting a Pi to do it, where you get usb async to a dac for maximum quality, but I forget which distributions do it now.I am using a chromecast and it does not look like it is doing any resampling.
Doesn't seem to be much/any. They've been being hammered for years now to offer a lossless stream with no effect.Where is the audiophile love, Spotify?!
They don't have to do any more work for WASAPI as Windows 10 now recognizes it and creates that interface automatically. Indeed I have tested that with the D50 and it is plug and play that way.They have publicly stated that adding ASIO/WASAPI is not part of their plans going forward.
Too much work tbh, I use my DAC for everything.The chromecast is an easy and cheap way of getting the bits out properly, but it does not handle gapless (unless fixed in the last few months) which I found annoying.

It sounds like you would find wasapi annoying to live with as it would block the sounds from other things when in use, I have the same thing with my office PC, and work around it by using the mixer, but getting Roon to upsample everything to what I have the speakers USB input set to, so windows does not get a chance to mangle the sound.When I play games the sound comes through the headphones, when I talk on TeamSpeak/Mumble/Discord I use my headphones.... when I watch Youtube or MotorTrend On Demand I use my headphones.... so basically everything but videos in Firefox and system sounds goes through my audio stack. Even if I setup an RBP to transfer via Coax.... it would be alot of work always switching back and forth.

No, nothing uses it by default. Everything goes through the standard pipeline which resamples, dithers, changes volume, mixes channels, etc.I thought everything uses WASAPI by default?
So how would i use it on WASAPI? I use Equalify to be able to select which output I use. Its a $29 plugin for the Spotify desktop client on windows.No, nothing uses it by default. Everything goes through the standard pipeline which resamples, dithers, changes volume, mixes channels, etc.
Programs need to be specifically written to use WASAPI. I took a quick look and unfortunately Equalify does not support it. Drop them a note and maybe they do that in the future.So how would i use it on WASAPI? I use Equalify to be able to select which output I use.

I'm not sure my point got across, the problem with wasapi is it engages exclusive mode, so no other sounds will make it to that device when in use. So if you are playing music in exclusive mode a Skype call will not ring until the music is stopped. On a multi use PC it can be a right pain, it's why the mixer is normally and correctly used.So how would i use it on WASAPI? I use Equalify to be able to select which output I use.

Yes I know what you mean. It wouldn't be too much of an issue for me because the only time I have things playing to it at the same time is when I am playing a game and am on VOIP.I'm not sure my point got across, the problem with wasapi is it engages exclusive mode, so no other sounds will make it to that device when in use.

I think squeezebox/slimserver can be made to be a spotify connect device, all the software will run on windows, in the background, but I bet it's not trouble free or simple. In theory when this is working you will be able to control everything with the normal spotify desktop client.Yes I know what you mean.

Otherwise if I am listening to music there are no other sounds playing. Skype calls ring through my speakers which go through the USB soundbar attached to my monitor. If I pick up a call I pause my music first.
Same with videos, if there is a video I am watching then the music is paused. So if Spotify put it in exclusive mode then I would be fine with that, its just that if I was using a second device to play spotify (Ex: Chomecast Audio) I would have to swap the devices around to use it for any other purpose.
