Configuring Audio Player with ASIO Output
You can use most ASIO-enabled software with the e18 DAC. In our experience Foobar2000 and J River
Media Center provided the best performance and sound quality.
Appendix A provides for step by step instructions for installing and configuring J River Media Center for
ASIO playback with the e18 DAC.
Foobar configuration instructions are available on the exaSound blog.
