I've read good things about the LT1364 as a buffer as well? opinions? AFAIK, it is a specialised buffer opamp as well so....

Is the LT1028ACN8 single or dual channel? Can't find info on it. Anyone used it?

EDIT: DW, the LT1028's are single + non gain stable so :/

Getting sick of the buggy wasapi on newer essence drivers and have been trying to use ASIO - but foobar isn't ASIO in the output even after I installed the ASIO plugin, and even though it shows under the foobar components list.  Is there something I am missing???  I am runnig 7.12.8.17731 driver which I thought included ASIO support.  I may try reinstalling ASIO plugin for foobar but its showing so wth...

^ You need to add the asio output device in "ASIO virtual devices" subsection of foobar.

please help me navigate to this section I cant find it.  Thanks

Foobar -->preferences--> Output --> ASIO virtual devices
 
 
Add a new output device here.

thanks found it and got it working - only problem it doesn't fix the windows navigation digital noise pops, and the volume control is unusable

Try increaing the latency in the ASIO control panel (Foobar -->preferences--> Output --> ASIO virtual devices --> edit --> configure) and see if it helps with the pops. If you have to set it real high, check your DPC latency with this tool.

I recently made the switch from XP to W7x64 and I've actually had better luck with WASAPI than ASIO. ASIO seems to be significantly louder than it was in XP and getting rid of pops and clicks wasn't as easy as with WASAPI. I'm using the Unified Xonar Driver.

BTW, with ASIO set as output I can only control the volume using the player volume control; with WASAPI, I can control the volume using the Windows mixer volume control and also change the volume for L/R channels in the Xonar Audio Center? Is this normal? "Allow apps to take exclusive control of this device" is on.

latency is a non-issue up to a point with music listening. You can have too much latency but otherwise a high ASIO sample setting like 640 samples is fine for music listening. Only in recording / producing you have to worry about latency.

Had some issues with getting kernel streaming to work so I stopped using it for winamp. However, I finally discovered how to access the ASIO control panel and I now have it on 24 bit but I'm not sure which latency to select or if that even matters. Having set the bit-rate to 24 I'm assuming I dont have to mess around with winamp anymore right?

Hi,
 
does anybody know where to get this Dual-Adapater?
I like the crispy sound of the 49720HA and would like to give the 710HA a try, but i can't find a Dual TO99 to DIP8 one.
Thanks for every useful hint.

I just tried Unified Xonar drivers and I'm WOW!
Selected the "lowest DPC" option while installing.
Sound is so much more natural and just flows. I have never been satisfied with Xonar STX setup till now. 
I'm using these to power my D7000. 
 
[ Disclaimer: Please note difference in sound quality is not really night and day but it's that extra 1% or so that makes or breaks it IMHO. ]

I tried the Unified driver, and all it did was add a white noise to the signal, which increased with increased volume, and increased in pitch as I added channels to the audio.

Just saying Hi 

 
I gave in based on the impressions posted here. I just ordered a refurbed STX for $116.

The stock op-amps with my HD650s were starting to annoy me a bit due to how forward (maybe bright?) they were, so I ordered a pair of OPA2107APs. Hopefully these will give me a bit more of a relaxed, smooth, warm sound, along with more bass (which I would greatly appreciate!) Since I'm a total newb at this, could someone check this auction that I bought to make sure I got the right thing? I just know I needed to get duals, so hopefully that's right. Also, I believe that's all I need for the headphone out, correct? The other op-amp just affects the line-out?
