6.1. Configuring a PC with Windows XP
A PC with Windows XP can use hi F ace T wo in two different ways: Direct Sound (DS) and
ASIO. The first mode is suitable for most players, such as Windows Media Player and
iTunes, or for Internet streaming, while the second can be chosen (for better performance)
with players which can operate in ASIO mode. ASIO is widely used by professional audio
software tools and ensures bit-perfect performance.
