  1. Hi, I've been reading that if you output music from your computer to your DAC via a USB cable there are delay or problems with the flow of information? Is that tru with a Vista OS? If that is the case, how do i overcome this?
  2. so let me get this straight...with USB soundcard doesnt matter? I know with USB u can only get up to 24/96, but in some circumstances lower rates. Does this have to do with the DAC, USB cable or soundcard?
  3. Hey all! I just stumbled onto your fantastic website a few days ago and I cant believe how much I've learnt about improving PC sound over these past few days! I'm thinking about a PC & DAC solution to my music problems and I've just got a few issues I need to iron out before I can get around to building my system from scratch. Firstly I'm just confused why there is so much discussion over the internal soundcard if we are just bypassing it through the DAC in the first place? If a digital signal is being sent out, then nothing needs to be processed within the PC right? If this isn't the case, then what is a good internal soundcard that you would recommend? I'm quite keen on the M-Audio Audiophile 192, but it doesn't have a USB output. This brings me to my next issue. Is it a big deal whether i output it through USB or TOSLINK or SPDIF? I plan on buying the new Cambridge DAC Magic. I plan to link my TV, PC and old Marantz CD5400 CD player though the DAC and unfortunately the Cambridge only has 2 SPDIF/TOSLINK inputs and a USB input. This would mean the only input left is the USB input. Alternatively I could find a soundcard with a optical input that I could put my TV through. What do you guys think about that? Think that's all for now, but I would appreciate any words of advice! Thanks
