Thanks all so far. My weekend experiments revealed that:
- It isn't Media Player related; All Windows Sound Output is affected the same way
- Other portable DAC's work fine (Dragonfly and DACMagicXS)
- Reverting from Devialet's driver to Microsoft gets me some burbly sound (the kind you'd expect if the event latency was terrible)
I'm surprised some people's USB input works with Win11. I imagined that Devialet would have to produce a new driver based on XMOS Driver v5.24, rather than 1.67. (It's typical for 3rd party manufacturers to name their Driver versions after those of the chipset manufacturer's).
I do use Ethernet by default - I find it more organic than USB - but USB is the easiest way to adjust PEQ filters in real time in JRiver. At the moment I can do that with my 3 month trial of ROON, but I may not continue on with that. (It's very good, but not £100-£400 better).
