★ Where AVR has HDMI inputs but can't decode HD audio
★★ On Windows WASAPI offers best quality if connected to an AVR or DAC but may not always work, and Directsound offers better compatibility and should work in just about all equipment configurations. The only time WASAPI must be used is when trying to passthrough HD audio.
