***Does Vista provide bitperfect output or not?***

The way I understand it, Vista includes the ability to select "Exclusive Mode" which apparently would eliminate the need for ASIO as we know it. This should provide bit perfect. However, the irony is that Windows Media Player will not support "Exclusive Mode" except, I think, only when passing AC3 or DTS to S/PDIF output (as in during playback of a DVD).

So I think we'll still have to rely on 3rd party programs (such as foobar) to take advantage of "Exclusive Mode".
