  1. "A little nagging: you are running XP as the OS, you are using it to play your music directly. A true music server is a box with a server process serving clients over the network. Streaming audio requires a server, direct play not." OK, I should have known better, but I think what I trying to say was clear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is max over USB is 16/48, or perhaps this is only what the Dacmagic will accept over USB. So what I really want to Know is how to get 24/96 out of computer to the dac. Which I can only assume is with a sound card. I don't have a sound card other than whats part of the mother board. 192 might be interesting at some point, anyway the CA Dacmagic does not accept that hi (192) on any inputs. Thanks, Mark
  2. Another novice here with some questions that I just can’t seem to find adequate (read understandable) answers to. I have a Cambridge Audio Dacmagic on order and want to use my desk top PC running Windows XP as the server. I plan to use USB out of the PC, at least to begin with. I’m also thinking of using EAC and FOOBAR, although I could be convinced otherwise. I would like at some time in the near future to get into Hi Resolution. 1. Will the digital out using USB pass through the Kmixer? If so, is ASIO4ALL the only practicable way to bypass the Kmixer? 2. What are the best options for a sound card that will output bit perfect pcm in s/pdif (of at least 24/96, 192 would be better) for less than $200? I don’t anticipate needing any other function from the sound card.
