Should the user need the operating system not to process the audio to be sent to the EVO
PHONODAC TWO , or when the limits of system settings need to be overcome, it is
necessary to use a player able to directly interface to the driver, using a transfer mode like
Kernel Streaming, WASAPI or ASIO, all are "bit-perfect" modes as they ensure that no
signal changes occur during the transfer from the player to the EVO PHONODAC TWO .

10.3.5. Configuring the player: FooBar and JRiver Media Center

A player able to communicate with the driver without using the operating system usually
delivers better performance with respect to players which rely on Windows to transport
audio.
Amongst the problems or limits more often observed when the latter kind of players is
used, is the 192kHz limit, the lack of compatibility with DSD and the fact that all various
sampling frequencies are always converted to the sampling frequency chosen by the user
in the Control Panel.
As examples, following are some suggestions to use the EVO PHONODAC TWO with two
well-known media players, a free one and a commercial one.
