I dont think my setup is working 100% perfect. The hardware I use is the ASUS Xonar DX. It has its own ASIO drivers with 16 and 24bits support. But I think within this, there is a problem. The drivers of asus I mean. As it turns out after a little while reading, ASUS has implemented its own flexible of 5.1 digital output. Atleast for the DX series. Set windows audio output to 5.1 ch/speakers. A digital 5.1 audiostream is send to the analogue output of 5.1 channels, where after all channels get encoded on the fly to a DTS bitstream through the SPDIF connection. In this situation it does not matter what the input bitrate is 44.1 or 48khz. It doesnt matter, because its decoded/encoded on the fly. Down side of this is, that I think there could be some quality loss because of the en/decoding steps. But im not sure of that.Besides above flexible option, it is still possible to use the true asio driver. In this situation I have to set windows audio output to 2ch stereo/channel. Now it is still needed that the source data (khz) is correctly read and then transmitted untouched through windows and drivers to my receiver. I have to admit that this is not yet working perfectly for me. When I set the soundcard output at 48khz, the mkv files work perfectly in DTS because the data is delivered in 48khz. The transmission to receiver for me is handled by AC3filter SPDIF Passthrough when watching movies. But the Flac / Wav / mp3 files (with pureaudio) or mediafiles with 44.1khz audio are not working correctly in this situation, because they are in 44.1khz. Result is still white noise. Conclusion in this situation is that for me the ASUS ASIO drivers are not working properly yet. This will require a bit of more digging from me.... I will probably try ASIO4ALL. SO now, I am using the first option. I have flac/wav DTS file support with pureaudio plugin and the mediafiles produce good dts. Only thing is I am a bit unsure about possible quallity loss. Sooowww...   Just to inform you <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
