Hi Frank and Kevin,
I'm the HW guy on the Audio Widget project, see www.qnktc.com. We have an
open source Windows UAC2 ASIO driver. Ideally, we'd have a Windows UAC2
driver like the one on Mac and Linux. But since we don't, what I wish to do
next is gather enough force to make a fully fledgetd UAC2 driver and
release it under GPL. One centrally distributed device driver with the
potential of supporting all UAC2 hardware.
The 30-60 demographic has a lot of users who still prefer a PC over a
tablet, and who love their music.
My doctor is the perfect fit. He loves classical music. After trying a
couple different DACs he's ended up with quite the driver collection and
resulting dll version inconsistencies. Now he's in the market for a Mac to
play his music, even though he has no other use for one.
I have watched the HiEnd audio scene and built DACs for some years now.
People borrow and test each other's DACs the whole time. The lack of native
UAC2 drivers on Windows is the _single_ _largest_ _inhibitor_ of growth for
high resolution audio. Having to install a driver scares away a large chunk
of _today's_ customer base, and it prevents that customer base from
growing. DLL conflicts and crappy user interfaces push even more users into
the Mac camp, where things work out of the box. Getting the promised sample
rate in real life is important. ksps sells just like megapixles.
The hardware brand owners also have to struggle with the costly licensing
terms of commercial drivers. Those are actually among the largest
inhibitors of growth among those who supply to the early adopter users in
the DAC market.
The demand for UAC2 support on Win7 and onwards does not yet come from
Logitec and Sony. It comes from the little guy like me who sells a couple
hundred DACs to early adopters. Satisfy those, and HiFi brands like NAD and
Rotel will start selling to larger groups. Satisfy those, and the Logitecs
will follow. UAC2 support can easily be made a winning sales pitch for
Windows PCs.
I voluntare as a tester for any effort Microsoft decides to put into UAC2
support. And in the meantime I'll lend out DACs to people who wish to help
out with a GPL driver.
Best regards,
Borge
