I get intermittent distortions when playing high rez music thru foobar. Problem solved after installing the unified driver. Strange.

For the life of me, I don't understand why STX ii headphone out sound better on Xonar Unified Drivers than on Asus official driver. Anybody got an answer?

Thanks for the comparison. KSE1200 is remarkable considering its price of USD2k vs U18 Tzar's USD3k, and to top it off KSE1200 comes with an amp.

Will the sound field and audio illusion collapsed without the tracker or just be slightly diminished? 

I am going to use the A8 with my projector. But I don't wish to run long cable from the tracker reference unit to the main unit. Is there any way around this, or should I just disable the tracker  reference unit?

Very nice photos. Thanks for the explanation.

Very nice! How did you mount the TCXO on the card?

I am trying to record some SACDs using my ST card. Is there any simple improvement I can make to the phono inputs?

I own a Pioneer DIR SE2000 wireless headphone. It's does very well as a wireless headphone, but it just can't compete with my Senn HD600 in terms of SQ.

Anybody can access Smyth's official website? Seems like it's down for an update.
