Lossless codecs like Wavpack, FLAC, WMA Lossless and Apple Lossless don't affect audio quality.

I use FLAC -6 because it compresses well and fast. You can see compression/decompression speed here: http://web.inter.nl.net/users/hvdh/lossless/All.htm http://uclc.info/LossLess.pdf

The price is $10. Source: http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folder...t/pcm1792.html

Meier-Audio Corda Opera (DAC + headphone amplifier) has PCM1794. PCM1792 and PCM1794 have the same analog performance. PCM1794: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcm1794.pdf PCM1792: http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcm1792.pdf

I makes no sense to use kernel streaming. Use ASIO.

3.5 mm is the correct measure. 1/8 inch is only an approximation. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_plug

The first thing to try is this: Connect your computer and your amplifier to the same power outage. This guide describes the ground loop problem and how to solve it: http://www.cinemasource.com/articles/gnd_loop.pdf

Here is what the specification says about jitter: Ultra-low jitter clock subsystem: < 500ps RMS in PLL mode (48kHz, Coaxial S/PDIF Sync) E-MU specifications: http://www.emu.com/products/product....Specifications

Read this comparison: Lavry DA10 vs Benchmark DAC1: DEATHMATCH! http://studioforums.com/groupee/foru...9/m/6611090261 I'm planning to buy either a Corda Opera or a Lavry DA10.

There is a review of 0404 USB here: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...-0404-usb.html This is a quote from that review: "The built-in headphones pre-amplifier has output impedance of 22 Ohm and max. output power of 20 milliwatt. Like mic pre-amplifiers, it's A-class, so it should be...

Ahh! I was probably wrong. Just read the manual. You will get downmixed 2 channel analog sound output. But you won't get 5.1 output from this player unless you use an external receiver. Did I get it right this time?

DVD 25 sounds pretty good while playing CDs but Philips DVD963SA sounds better. There is a big problem however: DVD 25 lacks DD and DTS decoders! That means you will get no sound while playing DVDs.

I found this: "If you just downloaded the installer, you probably just didnt select it during the installation. Just get the zip version of the player on the homepage, and extract foo_ks from it to your FB2000 folder and just enable it in preferences. Next time, be sure that KS is...
