Pic 1 = How to attach pics on forum (use Snipping Tools in W7 to make them very handy tool) (Click addittional Options) Pics 2,3,4 are your soundcard settings (use speaker Icon to get there, Right under on desktop)
See pic2 for Default device, you can disable all others (just Right click and disable) ONLY keep SPdif (but make some screen shots first, so we can see whats there) (maybe AES ???) Pic 3 and 4 speak for them selfs
Pic 5 = are XXHE settings
Maybe You already know this, but just to be sure And follow Peter's leads!! Maybe get some AES16 Software screen shots
PS: very nice "stuff" you have there, indeed (when its going to work, it will ROCK)

All works flawless here, (I am on latest version, with W7 RC build 7100, yes) Very happy with how it sounds. Different set-ups can cause different problems. (don't worry) My friend is here to listen to some music, for a couple of hours. So have to go............

I've had W7 sitting on my shelve for since Monday now .... but I'm too scared to change 'perfection'. Ah ignorance is bliss. But the devil inside me says ... 'but, but... try it...'
PS I think AUDIODIDAKT is the devil speaking inside my head... out, demon out.
LOL Its a lot of work, I know, but we have to move forward, haha Don't know for sure if it sounds better, but I think it does, so if you are in for challenge............. Some back ground: I have had so much trouble with Vista (NOT XX RELATED), I fully trust W7 as the better OS. Especially with SSD, really it is better and sure faster. (Peter will be joining us soon) Roy\\\ Sunshine, moonlight, goodtimes, boogie

Ultimate Audio Playback / Your questions about the PC -> DAC route / Re: Help me find a new DAC

My experience says not to use an extra soundcard, but I guess depends on hardware (PC/DAC) and cable For me its the other way around, I really need a soundcard, I did some listening a couple of months ago, The onboard sound device is really horrible, dead, no dynamics, boring. (also Gigabyte) I'am still on a Toslink, will modify my soundcard next week, and try a coax (I have good experiences with the coax Belden 1694A or use the 1505A) Toslink and xx always sounded "good" to me, so there was no rush to "upgrade" to coax. But I have the parts still laying around. Nice to see people playing around with the Hong Kong DAC, its that cheap, so why not. Good choice Grtz

Roy, I was wanting to use the Juli@ as an inexpensive means of getting music to my DAC, via spdif. Using the Juli@ as the sound device, are you able to us arc prediction upsampling? How does it sound?
Yes, I can use ARC (in my case only double, depends on DAC ofcourse), and it sounds good too, there is a Toslink and for coaxial you have to use a thingie suplied with the juli@, I still have to modify the card with a decent RCA connector. (see pic)
