  1. if you want ASIO (and that you want, if you´re quality concious) you need a soundcard before the signal is transfered (digital) to the DAC. if you just connect to the computers USB output you could use the asio4all protocol. not as good as true ASIO, but mostly acceptable. there are also external DACs that come with a driver protocol that is simmilar to ASIO but most of these are limited to 96kHz samplingrate. the asus essence has also a build in DAC so you can connect directly via S/PDIF (in analog mode) to your soundsystem. the slight disadvantage of a build in (analog out) DAC is the soundcards dependence of the computers switching power supply which is not ideal. there are many ways to realize computer audio and also many pros. & cons. have a look at : www.thewelltemperedcomputer.com one of the most interesting projects on computeraudio you find described here : www.cicsmemoryplayer.com kind regards
