Please can you send me the files as well? Thank you!

which is PCI express or it's ST version (PCI based)just got a good review in Stereophile. They got ho-hum ones in January to do with driver issues, but some driver updates seem to have made them into a pretty good proposition. They lock on to all formats up to 24/192, have a headphone socket that's ok-ish (like your phones I am guessing!), and the digital output is 24 bit perfect according to their report - so there's an upgrade path ready for you as well. This card is $199 list apparently, but you might be able to get it for less, and get something for your old card perhaps? Hope this helps

HI Peter, my sub is actually an antique Vitavox unit of some bulk, so no phase knobs there unfortunately, but room shaking bass. The problem I have is that I need to slow down the main signal since the sub responds after them, smearing the low bass. Whilst this is tolerable on some music it is not so when the percussion arrives. I am hoping to perform this in the digital domain. Incidentally I have heard back from Ayon who are away on holiday but still took the time to reply. Good customer service! Unfortunately they reckon I can't do what I want with the unit however.

Hi, newbie here, advice would be much appreciated. I am trying to implement a delay in the digital stream from my cd (and presently hard drive but that's over the horizon yet - much more reading to do first). I need to time align my subwoofers with my main speakers. Can anyone recommend a product or method of doing this that won't degrade the signal? Maybe some of the pro gear, but I have no idea how it stacks up? I'd tentatively like to keep anything required in the 24/96 or 192 arena for future compatibility with hi-rez computer media. I use an Ayon cd2 which is absolutely magic as it stands, but this won't allow a digital out and a digital in at the same time, so unless I can get it modded (way beyond me) I guess that might mean another drive and/or dac, groan, as well. I reckon if I have to choose the dac part of the Ayon is the better half, so howzabout some good value transports as well? I am interested in quality of sound, but not bothered how they look etc. I don't have to please SWMBO who has banished all that resembles music reproduction to the basement (cleverly shifting problematic husband out of harm's way at the same time). Many thanks for any help/advice you can offer.
