Hello @Rudi !Thanks for your interest.Exclusive mode: This allows an application to claim audio device for only its own use. No other application can send another stream to the same device. Under normal circumstances, different applications can send different sample rated sounds to the audio device, hence windows mixer resamples all of those sources to a target sample rate which is the selected setting in the audio settings:This is how we hear everything at the same time; For example windows sounds, youtube music and a game sounds being heard at the same time. However, this comes with a cost. That resampling degrades audio quality and internal windows audio processing negates some of the fidelty during the conversion. This is where exlusive mode shines. It claims the audio device exclusively (windows 10 - Wasapi API - event mode), simply enabling audio application to talk “directly” to the audio device, bypassing all windows sound processing engine. So, if my output is an external dac,
Hello Deezer! I’ve just switched from Tidal, because of terrible sound quality with their latest update trends (in hifi).I’m enjoying the reference sound finally with your hifi subscription! My music system is consisting of a pair of Nubert rc6000’s and a pc4000 sub.I immediately miss two most important feature that existed in Tidal though: “Exclusive Playback” and “Force Volume”. Those really changed the sound in a cleaner manner and stage to be more “present” as soon as kicked in. I am of course talking about the windows desktop app - audio settings.Just my two cents.
