the player (Fig. 39). Two drop boxes are present, one for the buffer shared with the
operating system and one for an ASIO buffer (which bypasses the operating system
and needs a specific setting). As a general rule, a small buffer is to be preferred
when low latency is required (e.g. when the YOUNG DSD is used to listen to a movie’s
audio). In any event, a small buffer needs frequent data transfers, which may result in
“holes” in the audio stream when the CPU is heavily loaded or when one of the active
drivers doesn’t comply with the time specification of the system.
