Hi all I apolagise if this has been posted already but just noticed on Asus site new beta drivers for Essence series here's the pitch from asus
 
Beta Version 7.12.8.1771

Description Xonar Essence ST bit-perfect ASIO driver (beta) for Windows 7 32/64bit
1. Sample rate supported: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz
2. Supports one ASIO playback stream (maximum 8 channels) to analog output.
3. Supports one ASIO recording stream (2 channels) from analog input.
4. Recording source (microphone in or line in) is selected by system mixer.
5. To keep the ASIO stream bit-perfect, the following two rules apply:
(1) The ASIO stream has higher priority of using DMA buffer than other streams. That is, when the ASIO stream is played, other streams cannot be played.
(2) No volume control is available for the ASIO stream.
6. When there are more than two ASIO applications running, only one application gets the right to use the hardware resource. This is based on “first come, first service” rule.
7. Current buffer time is set at 10ms, will be adjustable in later version
Notice
In Windows Vista/7 32- and 64-bit systems, users should use “Run as Administrator” to run ASIO applications to get the best performance.
Disclaimer:
Please be noted that this is still test version and feedback in our support forum should you encountered any error
during operation, we appreciate your assistance to make Xonar Essence ST/STX bit-perfect driver better.
 
I couldn't have timed my purchase any better XD

so they did the same mistake as Creative, no automatic bitmatch on KS/WASAPI...or maybe it'll take another year?
