Quote: r u saying to apply the UNI ASIO patch to the official Asus drivers? I didn't even try. I uninstalled the ASUS drivers, and reinstalled the latest UNI drivers, and life is good, again!!

Quote: For me, NO! To elaborate/clarify: I run XP SP3  w/ musicbee. The Uni-xonar worked great using ASIO. The ASIO is broken w/the new ASUS driver in musicbee. Static/distortion beyond belief. It does work w/Foobar2k. Maybe a musicbee issue, but not worth the bother of having...

  Quote: OK, to clearly state my position, I see a thread in which owners of the HD 555/595 attempt to show that by removing a foam strip, the less expensive model sounds exactly like the more expensive model.   As I read the comments, I'm reminded of the 100's of posts on several...

Quote: Are you using the 1790 or the 1788 UniXonar? I installed the 1790 & they seem as stable as the stock version 1788's. I'm using ASIO out on my WinXP rig. The beta drivers wouldn't work at all when I tried them.

Quote: xnor, I do not for one moment regret my decision to purchase the 595's, and as I stated in an earlier reply, I do value the asthetics, as well as the excellent overall sound. TBH I don't recall seeing them listed at headroom.com when I was shopping for new cans. It seems everyone...

Quote: Snowboards to earth, snowboards to earth, it's your mother calling. Learn to read, please, I implore you!! I did not observe anything of scientific import in the 1st post. I did not dispute the drivers/housings parts as being identical. That hardly qualifies as scientific...

Quote: V-bro, from your sig, sounds like you are the rapper, here. Listen, bro, calling me dumb/stupid is really resorting to below the belt stuff. Hey bro, it should have been apparent from my opening post that I'm a 595 owner, and all that proves is that like most on this thread, I...

  Quote:   Your scientific analogy is totally laughable based on the opinions spewed forth on this thread. What are you smoking?? It seems like you're trying to" worm" your way out of the fact that absolutely nothing of scientific value has been demonstrated in this thread.   It...
