I have recently purchased a Rotel RC-1590 preamp. The RC-1590 includes an in-built DAC that supports asynchronous USB input. I have connected my Windows/iTunes laptop to the RC-1590 via USB. Rotel supplies PC-USB driver software to support the playback of hi-res music files, and I have installed this software on my laptop. Unfortunately Rotel does not provide any documentation to support their driver software.
I want to optimise the “Preferred ASIO Buffer Size” in the driver software. The options range from 8 samples to 2048 samples. Can anyone please advise me on the optimal setting?
I am delighted with the sound of my new RC-1590 preamp. I am using it with a brand new pair of B&W 803D2 speakers that have been sitting in their boxes for eight years following the Christchurch earthquakes (it’s a long story). I was immediately impressed by the sound of my new system, so perhaps the buffer size setting is irrelevant?
