[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 75879, member: 122"] Personally, I'd make sure the analogue side is as far away from the PC as possible. The Asus DAC is really good, but it's compromised because it's 'inside the box'. Granted, I've not heard it before. But I also don't need to stick my finger into fire to know that it'll hurt ;) I'm quite keen on getting a USB DAC (yes, there's problems here too) or better still, something based on FireWire. But I must say, the new wave of async' USB Dacs are pretty good and is what I would use for a source. Most output analogue and SPDif for connecting to an even better DAC. Many mobo's also have an SPDif jack for connection to a better DAC (not perfect, but good enough). [/QUOTE]
