oh ok, well it's at the back of the system and I don't play around w/ it whatsoever once it's plugged in(I only have my DT770)...if I have to use duct tape, I'll do it

ok, sounds good to me!

let us know what the shop says please.

BTW, I've been confirmed that bit-perfect "automatic samplerate" drivers are still on track, and I'm trying to push for 128X oversampling(the DAC supports it for <192KHz audio, and default is 64X) : Upsampling vs. Oversampling for Digital Audio &mdash; Reviews and News from Audioholics

when will it EVER stop

You mean they are loose? -still tight enought to hold the phone jacks in though right?
Mine aren't overly tight like I don't have to force them in or out but there is never any issue with them not holding or loosing the signal.
To note, I only use the phone jacks once in awhile, I usually use the line outs...

No not loose they snap not strong anough in. The Signal is stil there without loosing the Signal. But if you draw a litle bit on the cable for example they went out.
My distributor called Asus they testid it on 2 other ST'S there is no probleme. My Distributor will send me a new one after this i can send the old back. That's a realy good service and untypical for Germany.

Just get a new card and your good to go. Mine are as tight as they should be.

I have the same problem with my STX. The provided 1/4" adapter will snap in but if it gets pulled a little it will get pushed out as if the phone jack is spring loaded. That said, the plug on my 595s don't do this so it might be worth checking other plugs to see if it still happens.

I have a pile of 3.5 to phone adapters and many others for the Phone jack and I find some don't fit as good as others seem to.

Yes there are stil differences but my Jack from the Headphone snaped in, in my STX as it shoot be. So the plug of my headphone is still okay.
But anyway i will get a new one and that is fine.

I got a bunch of Neutrik/Furutech 1/4" plugs around, I'll report on how it goes.

The ppm doesnt mean ****.
I'm checking the datasheet trying to find a real jitter measure (that u can get from the phase noise profile). And then, also the QUALITY of such noise matters.

Good!

Not so good...
The less sigma-delta oversampling the better.
Try to do A/B comparisons.

BTW, it seems that 3-4 people here got the card already. Any comparison with other models (esp from asus such as the D2 or the STX).
