I am looking for a modern PCI or Firewire-based sound card featuring one SPDIF input and three to four SPDIF outputs which may be used concurrently under Windows XP. DirectSound drivers are required. D/As are optional. Flexible on price. Any suggestions?

I'm currently using a K1000 plus a subwoofer for headphone listening (my HD650s and Stax 4040 gather dust). Is there a system which would provide a substantial improvement in detail and resolution for (instrumental classical/jazz trio) music listening?

I really love the sound of the K1000's, but they're a tough load for my iPod ( ). Regardless of price, is there a pair of portable phones that has a signature even remotely similar to the AKG K1000's? Currently, I use Senn PX100's with my iPod, but while they're comfortable, light and pleasant...

I just purchased an HP iPAQ4700 PDA. However, It will never be used to browse the web, read mail or schedule meetings. It has but one purpose. It's a remote control for Foobar! Here's how I use it: The PC in my den is wired via USB to the stereo in my living room, which includes a Roland...

Unable to choose between dynamic and electrostatic, I purchased both. So, now I have a Stax 4040 and a Senn HD650+Grace 901. Here's the question: I'd like to obtain a CDP with digital out for use with the Grace plus a sufficiently high-quality analog line out for use with the Stax. Alternately...
