How's the ifi with your muses 1?  Any improvement at all?  For $200 is not a bad price but I sense that it might be snake oil so wanted to check in with you.

My spider senses are also tingling.

In my own opinion, it should be used mainly with a USB powered amp &/or dac (Meridian,Dragon fly, Dacport....)
What I mean (take it with a grain of salt, as I am still in a very early stages of testing) that I did notice a change with my DACPORT LX /Odac(...please check the ifi appreciation thread for later updates as I do not want to derail the thread), and almost no change on the Asus (still getting used to my replaced Asus, so this is still an early conclusion).
 
Asus has done a great work with the one series, and even with high quality vs law quality USB cables , there was no difference in sound (margin of difference is PLACEBO).

Hey guys, is anyone noticing some strange channel imbalances between left and right? Positioning is really strange. I've been listening to 3D soundscapes and trying to differentiate right from left, but my E1 doesn't seem to comprehend when something is to the right of it.

The One has problems with channel imbalance when you set the volume pot very low but it should disappear after the first 1/6 turn. Maybe there is a problem with your volume pot and it has channel imbalance everywhere. You could measure it by plugging a cable from your headhpone out in the line in of your onboard sound card and measure for example frequency response with rmaa. If you have a channel imbalance it would show that one channel is always quieter.

Have not seen anyone else reporting this in here, so I'm at a loss for what to suggest. If it were a latency issue, you usually get dropouts all throughout playback. Not sure Foobar has options to delay playback somewhat. Could be down to the system as well, maybe storage is the bottleneck.
