Is the USB connection just for power? Or is that the auido source for the device? Im confused...
Damage sucks.
Good thing you were able to repair it. =]
Might you do any cap and opamp rolling?
CAp and opamp modding? Let me explain something... dac and adc converters are very expensive compared to an opamp, so creative makes sure they select an opamp with better specs than the output of the dac, so the audio performance will not be downgraded by the opamp. any (better) other opamp will make this card sound the same because you already reached the limit of the dac. and as far as capacitors go, it has already some pretty good ones...

wow.......is this a good DAC? I am just not ready to drop 300 on a new dac as I just dropped 500 on mah RS-2's. If it comes to it i may just bite the bullet and save up for a headroom dac*not the 1000$ one*
