No as far as USB use because they are realtek devices and hence directsound.

You must have ASIO support. That is why so many USB dac just miss the point.

I don't care how many people are selling USB dac without ASIO support. It is a disservice to hifi. I don't sell any gear; this is just the honest truth.

By all means, use one of the Gigalab, Valab, Pacific Valve... but lead into them with a proper ASIO transport via USB or PCI or firewire.
