Topic: Exclusive mode in Windows. Need advice.

Hey.
I'm using foobar2000 (DSD : ASIO : DSD Transcoder (Dop / Native)).
Should I select in Windows 2 checkboxes "Allow applications to take exclusive control on this device" and "Give exclusive mode applications priority" for better sound quality?

Thanks.

Asio already talks directly to the driver. For applications using wdm this setting would make a difference but it limits it to one app.

So no need to select this checkboxes?
