And I must say I'm really impressed so far. I'll give some quick impressions when compared to the onboard sound I've used earlier, and a few other sound cards I've used. Installation: It can't get any easier. After plugging it in, it was recognized and installed within about 2-3 seconds...

Well I have decided to buy a USB DAC - either the Musiland MD-10 or the Firestone Audio Fubar II, but I can't decide! The MD-10 has a headphone amp which is nice, but I would like to be able to tuck it in behind my PC and it's too big for that, and that's where the Fubar II has an advantage. I...

I've been on the verge of buying a USB DAC for a few weeks, and i've narrowed my choice down to either a DIYEDEN SVDAC05 or Firestone Audio Fubar II. Either way, I was wondering how these things actually work in practice. Many state that they don't need drivers for windows, and this confuses me...

I've tried to find answers to these questions by searching to no avail, so I thought I'd ask here. I've decided to buy the Creative Zen Vision:M, but there are a few things I'd like to know first. 1. What's the best software to use to transfer music and video to it? I'd like it to...

I got a lot of good recommendations regarding USB DACs in an earlier thread and I've decided to go ahead with the purchase. The problem is that I can't find any suitable retailers! Living in Sweden, the market for USB DACs is very small and I can't find a single store in the country that sells...

I've narrowed down my choice of DAP to the Creative Zen Vision:M, which will be powering a pair of canalphones unamped. I can see that the Super.Fi 5 Pro's have a better score on headphonereviews.org, but I'd like to hear if anyone has any objections or thoughts regarding me choosing the...

i've tried several pci soundcards to date, for example the ESI Juli@ and Audiophile 192, but i haven't been satisfied. now i'm thinking about trying a USB DAC, but i have no idea where to start looking, and i don't even know any good brands. i'm looking for something between 100-250USD. any...

for the past few months i've been using my PDA and mobile phone as my mp3-player, but ultimately they just don't cut it in the SQ department. i have been thinking about what would be the best option for me, and i've come to the conclusion that i should get a dedicated mp3/video player. so far...

yesterday i got an ESI Juli@... but it's been a real pain to get working, it must be a dud. I don't want to get into the issues i've been having with it - there are so many, and i've tried everything to no avail. well anyway, i'm going to exchange this card with either a new Juli@, or perhaps...

Well as soon as my next payout arrives, i'm getting a new soundcard and a DAC. DAC: http://www.harmonydesign.se/english_da9.htm Soundcard: ESI Juli@ right now i'm using foobar with kernel streaming, but as i'm running a creative card i'm not getting bit-perfect because of the resampling...

i'm about to upgrade my computer-as-source setup, but need help choosing a sound card. i'll be running digital out from the sound card to a Harmony Design DA9 DAC, and from there to a Thule IA100 amp. i want a USB sound card, which has stable, tried and tested drivers. there are a few...
