Thanks for your input on this issue Vincent.
Looking at your Benchmark DAC1, there are two things that set it apart from my dac (and probably Bee-liever's too)
First of all it has a USB1.1 interface, not USB2.0.
That shouldn't be an issue for the sound quality, but it does make a difference for the drivers.
And what is certainly different, it is said here that it communicates with a PC in synchronous mode. Not a-synchronous:
https://www.stereophile.com/headphones/108bench/index.htmlThey do some internal wizardry that is supposed to result a-synchronous like processing, but the connection with the pc is synchronous.
So that makes your dac a bit of an odd beast, and not comparable with most dac's that are being sold today.
And it will most certainly be responding very differently to MB's event mode settings.
Hopefully some other MusicBee members with dac's connected through USB and running in event mode can give some feedback too.
I am pretty sure there is something wrong with MusicBee's current handling of the event buffer.
