RE: The Art Of Guessing-Perhaps you should

The error counters that fmak and I have discussed come with the Rigisystems USBPAL control panel. With other USB devices there might or might not be a packaged display that shows counters. Incidentally, these counters are not particularly useful, because the documentation that comes with them is cryptic. For example, on my system I get continual "FIFO Error Count" counts when I set the streaming buffer size to 1 msec and play music at 192/24. I don't get any counts with the identical cable, USB port, and DAC when I set the streaminhg buffer size to 2 msec. The cryptic documentation for this counter reads:

"This counter is incremented if an interruption in the isochronous USB stream is detected by the hardware. This could be caused by CRC errors on the USB. Try to use another cable, or a short cable, or try to use a different USB port on your PC."
