Thanks for the response, Elias. So in the real world the key is to output one audio stream at a time, through a software program like J River Media Center, correct? Will Windows system sounds playing at the same time (for example, if an email arrives in Outlook) result in Kmixer chicanery? My RME soundcard always went haywire in that situation, and I wonder if this is the cause.
Also, are there specific optimal settings for the media software when playing back FLAC files, for example? Is it ideal to upsample to the DAC1?

One audio stream at a time is a good idea. Windows system sounds, though incredibly annoying, shouldn't cause any problems with the audio however. The sounds are 44/16, so as long as your audio is at least 44/1 kHz, your audio won't be converted. It will be invaded for the duration of the system sound only.
