It is to bad that plexamp has no option to play bitperfect with asio drivers. Now I only can use the windows driver. With is software conversion. Most DAC’s come with an Asio driver so please my suggestion is to support that.

[Immagine 2026-09-01 224358] This is a small victory…:victory_hand:

No one said you can’t have both a way to avoid Windows mixer, which only affects Windows users, and a better approach to consistent sample rates, which affects everyone. @elan indicated Plex has looked at ASIO and will not be implementing, but is considering WASAPI exclusive mode.

Sort of related on the side, since talking about bit perfect playback. Audiofiles like to see their signal path and how it goes through to the speakers. So a simple visual of “file” -->> Sample Rate/Bit Depth -->> DAC → speaker. Something like that. Its a visual thing but it gives user immediat…

I agree, we really need WASAPI！

Any news with this? Having to use plex at the moment on a PC for hires audio, rather than plexamp, and it’s a pain.

I’m afraid there isn’t one. The Windows version hasn’t been updated for more than four months. I don’t know what they’ve been busy with recently…….

When I asked in another thread one of the devs said they will be implementing bit perfect playback, though wonder if that was just to stop people asking/complaining.

It’s hard to say, but I hope they can pay attention to the version function update of Windows, the platform with the largest user base.
