I was struck by the second sentence I quoted from your post in 2006:

Since I went the computer audio route, I am no longer in search for a "better source".

I'd say that your conversion to the cics religion represented a further search for a "better source".

I'm guessing that you have not tried the tweaks proposed by the Belts or some of the other extremely unlikely tweaks floating around. Do you have a personal BS filter that makes you skeptical of some tweaks?
The cics tweaks might or might not work. The explanations that cics presented early on were not convincing to me.
I followed my own path observing the effect of changes to the the OS configuration on what the computer was doing. I did listen to see if I heard any differences along the way. I heard nothing that required me to abandon or significantly revise my personal BS filter.
> Still have the same awful pci dac :)
I still use a PCI card on my MusicPC. A good PCI card with a clean ASIO driver and player software that can output to ASIO is still a simple, effective recipe for a successful PC audio system. Especially for a Win XP system.
