Is anyone feeling any improvement by using WASAPI vs the regular DS on Foobar with the E10 ?



I dunno, but I use WASAPI exclusive mode anyways.  I use MusicBee BTW http://getmusicbee.com/ awesome program.

Love my E10 for my laptop setup. Only one issue.
 
When I leave my computer a significant amount of time (10-15mins) and come back, the sound has quite a bit of static in it. I have to disconnect and reconnect the device in order for it to work properly. I havnt figured this one out yet. Every power saving configuration is turned off (usb suspending, ext.) so I cant figure out what would be causing it.

I can use help with my new E10. It works fine on a friends windows computer but not on my iMac 27" with Lion. I see the entry for the E10 in the list of audio devices in Audio Midi Setup, so the Mac sees it, but the E10 doesn't produce sound thru my headphones. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? [BTW: same headphones used successfully on Windows machine.]
 
Sorry to be such a dummy.

Try restarting your computer.
 
I don't mean to sound snarky, I had the same problem and restarting fixed it.

Just got my E10 in the mail last night.  I am using it to drive Ultrasone HFI-580s for right now (not a particularly demanding pair of cans) but am less concern with the headphone amp and plan to use this as a cheap USB DAC for my HTPC to feed my 2 channel system sporting B&W CM9s via the coax out.
 
Sonically I do notice an improvement over the PC headphone jack in my limited critical listening but I have only given them a brief demo.
 
However, I did notice one annoying thing.  When I set foobar WASAPI plugin to use the E10 device for output, I find it becomes a bit delayed at default 1000ms buffer.  Lowering the buffer to 50ms seemed to fix it.  Anyone else have the same experience?  Is there an optimal buffer size?  The Realtek integrated worked fine with 1000ms.

So what exactly is the difference between the new silk screen batch? Is the label on the front the only difference?
I'm thinking about ordering from headphone bar, but i'm hesitant because the holidays are coming up and i always seem to buy things shortly before they go on sale :)
