ASIO builds 2.0

There is a lot of discussion about how to eliminate jitter in digital audio. PC Audio seems to be the most flexible way to play digital audio, and Foobar 0.8.3 the player with less jitter. ASIO (Audio stream input output) is a protocol for low-latency digital audio specified by Steinberg which provides an interface between Foobar and the soundcard. The asio output plugin builds implement that protocol, but they can sound very different. The goal of the new ASIO builds is to improve balance with Steinberg WaveLab 4.0c as reference.

All builds in this page are for Foobar2000 0.8.3. They must be extracted in the 'components' folder. The differences between builds can be detected as compression when the distortion is low enough. More information in the old page. Contact: asiobuilds@gmail.com

Best builds

For all builds it is recommended to set realtime priority in Foobar2000 (Preferences -> Core -> Process priority class) and visit MusicXP.
