  1. Yes it is definitely easier to go all-in one or the other. I was a mac guy for AGES but with the new directions Apple is going it doesn't work for me professionally anymore (new mac pro is a non starter for me and the last straw). So over the last couple years I've been moving to Windows more exclusively. I always had a gaming computer (windows) and a work computer (mac) but lately I've just been on my Mac Pro, and running windows for personal, and mac ONLY for work (I do video work, and most people I work with use Macs, hence quicktime, hence ProRes, which is MUCH faster to use on mac). I'm rambling, but I use "MacDrive" to access my mac disks on my windows machine and it works great. It isn't free, but it allows windows to use the drives natively - no manual mounting or anything. It's been pretty smooth. My mac pro is pushing 6 years old (with many upgrades) at this point so it's time to get a new machine -- at which point my Windows switch will be complete. FWIW, I also use a GD-Audio Compass (DAC/Headphone Amp from China) with my Mac and it works great.
  2. Hello. I'm new here but as a mac pro owner... have you considered running windows with boot camp? That would let you not have to transfer anything, still use your old sound card, AND have options for better playback software and hardware interfacing that Windows has (IMO). I use the optical out on my Mac Pro, but I use windows (8 pro) so I can use ASIO and FooBar/MediaMonkey.
