Help please
Is the ODAC's line-out fit for hooking to a receiver?

Sorry to interrupt the USB discussion, but has anyone managed to get the ODAC working with WinXP and ASIO or Kernel Streaming in Foobar? I've followed all the guides (ASIO foobar plugin, ASIO4ALL settings to map left and right of USB ODAC etc.) but am having no luck.
1) With kernel streaming, I have to set the buffer length to something like 200ms or less in order to get playback. Unfortunately, I cannot use the seekbar in Foobar to skip to a certain part of a track. If I try to, it just stops at the time I've jumped to with no sound. Anyone know how to fix this?
2) With ASIO, I have the ODAC all setup and mapped the left and right and in offline settings set the odac to active, 4 buffers, etc., but when I try to play a track it just stays at 0:00, no error message in Foobar or anything. Played with the buffer length but this didn't help at all. When I check the Offline settings I'm told the device is not available even though I have it set to active. Help?

I dont use Foobar or XP anymore....its not that it cant be done its too much of a pain...
If you can afford it get over to win7, things here are better for audio...
I am sure there are other sites and maybe if you search this site or maybe Foobar's you will find your answer.
After mucking with several players including Foobar, Music Bee , JRiver ....and some others...
I settled in on JRiver and to get things to work and be bitperfect is rather painless with Win 7.
Good Luck!

I borrowed an April Music Stello for about 30 days, during the summer of 2011. The Stello has a toggle switch on the front panel labeled UPSAMPLE with two positions labeled 192 and Byp (for "Bypass").
I found that the Bypass position always sounded better (with my equipment, my ears) than when upsampling to 192kHz. The DA100's owner agrees (with his equipment, his ears). So far as I could tell, upsampling to 192kHz only added a slight sheen to the highs. It certainly didn't improve audible detail. I was using a 15V Stepdance -> LCD-2 rev.1 at the time, and my the owner was using a Schiit Lyr -> HE500.
