By clicking on "Buffer Settings" the user accesses the window to set the buffers through
which the driver exchanges data with the operating system or directly with the player (Fig.
34). Two drop boxes are present, one for the buffer shared with the operating system and
one for an ASIO buffer (which bypasses the operating system and needs a specific
setting). As a general rule, a small buffer is to be preferred when low latency is required
(e.g. when the EVO PHONODAC TWO is used to listen to a movie's audio). In any event, a
small buffer needs frequent data transfers, which may result in "holes" in the audio stream
when the CPU is heavily loaded or when one of the active drivers doesn't comply with the
time specification of the system.
For every device associated to a driver instantiation, a setting window is available.
