Hey, a friend of mine wants a DAC (preferably with a built in headphone amp) that could handle two sources simultaneously: "A USB or coax SPDIF DAC and headphone amp with 3.5mm, 6.35mm, or phono input for additional source(s) OR a SPDIF DAC with both coax and optical input capable of handling...

Alright, well, the DAC I'm getting is cheaper with coax so... yeah, I think I'll go coax. Anyways, I think I'm gonna get the Maya44 if it supports bit-perfect out over coax. As you said, it's a bit cheaper. Thanks again (for the third time? )! Edit: Or not, I see that Linux is officially...

Alright, well, the Juli@ it is if so. From what I've gathered coax is preffered over optical, right? Thanks for all the help!

Don't know really. I usually am very egoistic though, so I voted No.

Alright, that sounds good. I assume that you use the S/PDIF coax in bitperfect mode? (Sorry, I've read a lot about this and it still confuses me. )

Cambridge Azur 640H Music Server Maybe this could interest you as well?

Thanks for the suggestion! How does it compare to the "Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 HiFi" though? The price is similar, I'm not interested in 7.1 though. Edit: The EMU 0404 PCI is a bit cheaper than both Prodigies, is that a good card as well? The USB-version is popular, is it not? How's Linux...

I'm looking to replace my SB Audigy 2 (yuck) card with something new to go a long with a future DAC (using S/PDIF). From what I've gathered the Chaintech AV 710 is really popular, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't really want to buy things from abroad and thus my selection is a bit...

My Cowon iAudio X5. Haven't found any other player that does all that my X5 does.

~10+ C and raining. Doesn't feel very Christmas'y here.

Why it's so expensive? It's branded Cisco... Go figure.

Hamachi is probably the easiest way to do it. Oh and, use the "try the trial for free" option when installing. When the trial runs out, just click on the button, then close the process. Now you can use the premium edition until you reformat your PC.

Gonna edit your photos as well? Then the quality of the colors will matter and you should get a monitor with a S-IPS panel. 95% of the monitors produced today are TN panels, they're cheap and 'fast', but they lack the quality that you're used to on your CRT. Actually, you should always...

Sorry, I don't have a digicam at the moment, but I just got one of these: Since it's so cheap it was well worth the money. Fun to crash into people with it.

Not to mention that it takes AGES to compile stuff compared to binary stuff. IF there was a performance gain in Gentoo, it'd still feel slow because of that.

Considered something like Ubuntu? It should be able to do what you're looking for.

... And like with drivers and programs, they'll release new "versions" of viruses.

Comparatives Decide for yourself, I tried Avira Anti-Vir Premium and it seemed to work pretty good.

Well, I really like my iAudio X5. It has all the features you listed, and more.

I'm thinking of making the switch to Linux again. Just gotta back-up my data. -.- My favorite distro is Arch. Everything just works ...the way you want it to. I love it. I used Quod Libet as well Comfortably_numb. Neat app.
