No I did not need to update my DAC to use it on Winodws 7 64-bit but I will probably update the firmware later to use newer drivers.

Okay. Good to know when I make the switch.

I updated my firmware. I was surprised that I received my key within 10 minutes of e-mailing my license.dat file. Driver 1.0.7.0 gives me crackling problems on the right channel (almost gave me a heart attack thinking the firmware update screwed up the DAC), so I'm back to 1.0.3.2 which is the same driver I used before the firmware update.

Tried 1.0.6.0 and it works fine. Is there any point in keeping up to date with the drivers? Everything seems to be working (at least analog since I don't use digital) even with 1.0.3.2 (The sound is the same compared to 1.0.6.0, no worse no better) and there's no change log for each new driver version.

Aside form stability issues that arise with certain drivers, I'd have to say I don't think it's necessary to keep the drivers up to date as long as everything works fine with older drivers.

I read all thread and all I saw was problems with drivers and firmware.. I would like to see some sound reviews.



Yeah, I agree. Where are all the reviews? It'd be nice if all the thread hijackers left and made their own separate troubleshooting thread considering that this thread should mainly be about impressions/reviews.

By the way, has anyone compared the Monitor 02 with the Gamma-1?

I may write a review but only after I've spent at least a week with it. Not everyone feels capable of sitting down and analyzing sound ( we all know how hard it can be sometimes describing sound and how easy it is to just say it sounds "good") thus probably no reviews

I don't believe musiland drivers support EAX, unless you can find a software to do it. Why would you want EAX anyway?
