Some hifi shops here in Hong Kong still list Sonica. I think it takes more time to sell these devices.

But for a USB solution at this price-point, the sound is wonderful.

I too use foobar for my listening needs, it has a bit higher learning curve than something like Winamp, but pays off in the end.

Good to hear, glad out of the box the transit rules. Currently the sound from my laptop -> superdual is amazing me. I finally got winamp playing on quality (instead of crappy eq).

I don't know much about foobar, I tried it once and hated it for some reason, but I am trying it again. I am hoping an eq is working on it, and other random things, and am going to get columns working and all that jazz.... Then tomorrow when my transit comes in I guess I'll mess with asio? ... I got a lot to learn before it gets here tomorrow. =)

I tried ASIO a few times, and I noticed real benefit to it, and I actually got more noise and problems with it over DirectSound2, that's been my experience.

I rightmarked the transit with a digital out-in loop. Results linked below. From the results I think I had bit-perfect output, since my results were almost identical to someone's analysis of the original wav file. So it seems that the transit has bit-perfect digital (and so probably analog) output without ASIO.
It was my first use of the software, and it shows - I initially thought I was getting bad results and should have got -infinity s/n etc.

CSMR,

Thanks for the link! Again, the Transit is a great little unit for the price.

Hrmm, I'd say yes, I've used the 280 with portbales fine, and I'd say the headphone out is enough, but would defintely benefit from the amp none the less.
