 I'm upgrading Vista...are there any important differences between home and professional for audio servers?

 If you feed digital audio from your PC to your DAC, then your main concern is bit-perfect capability. Foobar2000 requires WSAPI on Vista / Win7 or ASIO on XP. Win7's audio kernel should be the same as in Vista so you need the WSAPI.

 I found Vista sounds identical to 7 Ultimate if SQ is a concern
