weird.. when running on asio.. it will solely play sounds from foobar and have everything else muted .. using windows 7 pro here..

i find a huge significant diff on asio with my system as i can put the buffer length to 50ms in foobar.. and asio4all's buffer to null

it some sort of reduce latency by a large margin but the drawback is songs will "lag" abit when youre skipping a track .. but no problem if you play from start to end

heh should be typical BB's sound then biggrin.gif .. if not mistaken its a little laidback , nice for slow songs..
for RM90 it is indeed a very good buy.. you cant even get a decent soundcard for RM90 to begin with(first hand) .. not to mention something external like this sweat.gif

For my rig do you think I can hear any difference compared to onboard?

I've always been using Creative Elite Pro. Does this DAC come close to it at all?

cant say much regarding the USB DAC cuz i havent tried it yet ... waiting for my friend to get his first tongue.gif, but i dont like the sound of the elite pro. used to own one but ended up trading for a xfi FPS and traded again for a VIA based soundcard.

but when come to think of it, the BB DAC chip used on this product should be better than the elite pro's cirrus logic DACs.. the only problem is prolly the simple interface where you cant do much with the mini USB and also there's no amp on it... need to get one if wanna drive heavy headphones
