This seems to suggest the MR-1000 can act as a soundcard, but i see no mentions of ASIO drivers etc...........could someone with the Korg clarify what this means?
You can play DSD files from the Korg directly from it's own harddrive in DSD, or you can use the USB connector to transfer files to your computer. Once they are on the computer, you use Audiogate to convert them, but at this point, the mr-1000 is out of the picture. Audiogate has WMV and ASIO drivers (I'm on PC) so Audiogate plays through your computer's sound card. It laods the DSD file, and converts it in real time to PCM to play through your sound card, and it allows you to convert the DSD files into PCM .wav or .aiff files to be saved.
