Beatles 24bit FLAC release compatible with stereo-link

The stereo-link DAC is ideal for playing the new Beatles 24 bit FLAC release. Both Models 1400 and 1600 identify themselves to the computer as 24 bit devices, but Vista and Windows 7 incorrectly display the device as 16 bit under Playback Device -> Properties -> Advanced. However applications accurately detect the 24 bit capability.



For best results, we recommend using the latest release of foobar2000 with the ASIO driver option(both available as free downloads). When playing back 24 bit files, the ASIO4ALL driver improves the noise floor by about 4 dB over the Windows Direct Sound Drivers. We will be posting additional information here soon, including recommended settings for the latest releases. In the mean time, see our FAQ for details. The latest version of foobar2000 (V0.9.6.9) does not require the Output Format to be set to 32 bits, and in fact produces better results when that item is disabled.
