@wynshad12: who's talking about custom fees?
@G~mann: it seems that the reliability is a more important problem than sound quality for the ZERO. I hope it's not the same for the newer version. About to recommend to a friend, I would say that it depends on his pocket. For me it's a no brainer that the Xonar ST is the best value for the money for someone who has a desktop PC. For the laptopers, the Zero is a good first step for hifi for those on a budget, where one could buy an independent amp some time later (like a 150$ one), and maybe a dac after later on (for the same amount of money). For those who have more money to spend, compass seems the way to go, and for those who are rich, take a 3k$ solution, that's all.
as for the pmd RCA problem, it is really weird that the RCA is not working while the HP is! Does it make any difference if you use the pre-amp or not? Mine is working so far in both ways.
