      Hello, nice to be here. Having just one strange issue, any tracks I am sending via Windows USB to the external DAC are mixed to PCM 48 khz regardless of previous format. Tried ASIO, WASAPI, everything on the output options. Other players are working with the same connection to the same DAC without issues.

        I second this. Except that samplerates are set correctly when on WASAPI2.
        Setting ASIO output causes force-resampling to 48 KHz (and this is what I see on DAC's display) which makes 24/192 tracks play times faster than they normally should.
        Not to mention WASAPI-Exclusive is still dead 🙂

        The connection is USB, the DAC is Topping DX9 on FW 1.23, OS is Windows 10.
        I'm on Strawberry 1.2.10-8-g04c6c862.

        @jonas Hopefully you're already aware of the issue 🙂

          SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
          The issue appears to be that the output to the external DAC is set by the Windows mixer setting and is not overridden by the Strawberry app as is the case with other players: if for example the output to the DAC is set on the Windows mixer as 24bit/192 khz then the Strawberry app will also follow this setting and outputs everything in this selected bitrate rather than the native bitrate of the source material. Hope this helps.

            Little update. It appears even on non-exclusive outputs (such as WASAPI2) Strawberry does use the samplerate set by the Windows mixer.
            I guess this causes forced resmapling in all playback cases, thus noticeably reducing sound quality.
