I'm looking to run a setup of using Stereo Mix to output my sound card to ODAC (USB). I have a few questions just for confirmation I'm doing the right thing.
The OP only mentions this method using "What u hear" (Creative) - I'm guessing Stereo Mix (Xonar) is exactly the same?
How's the performance? Is it bit-perfect? Is there any noticeable delay?
I heard there's some stereo mix issues with USB headsets. Would ODAC have the same issue?
The option your looking into degrades audio quality.
Better to use a quality sound card and output to the headphones or speakers
or bypass the sound card and have audio go straight out the USB port to an external DAC (ODAC?).
What hardware do you currently own?
What are you trying to do with audio (gaming, music or movies or other)?
