Hi, I would like to have a one-size-fits-all meda player that can play both local content and stream from the web.  On the video side, there appear to many viable options - Roku, WDTV, Popcorn, etc.  But, can any of these boxes also bitstream audio files, say from a NAS, at their original...

Does anyone know if the newest version of iTunes released in the last week allows for WASAPI on W7 x64?

I finally got this to work and verified by a DTS WAV file. The key for me was changing the default audio output in the advanced properties of my default SPDIF audio device to 41000 Hz, 24 bit (Studio Quality). 41000, 16 bit (CD Quality) allowed the DTS light to appear on the receiver, but no...

Well, I kind of feel like an idiot, but I don't have access to floppy and DOS boot CD cannot see an NTFS HD partition, so how can I burn these files to the boot CD? I tried to simply copy them to a separate CD, but DOS complains when the boot DOS CD leaves the tray of the only optical drive on...

Thanks for the recommendation. It still seems a little expensive for a SPDIF out that doesn't re-sample. Do I really need to get a card with a full-blown X-fi chip and DAC to get non-resampled digital out? Lastly, I've seen it repeatedly reported that all Creative sound cards re-sample to...

Great, thanks for the info. Does the resampling of this card to 96 kHz in Vista explain why ks does not work via SPDIF? What is actually resampling the music? Is that a function of the VIA drivers or something hardware (specific to the card itself). And finally, how was it concluded that...

Thanks for all the great information in this thread. Ok, in the first post, it's stated that "Note that there is currently no way to prevent resampling to 96 kHz with the AV-710 in Vista." Does this apply only to the analog outputs? I'm only interested in the S/PDIF output and am wondering...

Hi there, I'm looking for the card that can literally do the least on a Vista machine. All I would really like to do is have: 1. Non- re-sampled audio (PCM) at the native (44.1) sampling rate to the receiver. 2. AC3/DTS pass through. I have no need for analog output. Do any USB dongles...
