Corrections and answers

Dave,

Ok... some of my generalization in my above thread was due to the fact that I assumed you proabably would not use Foobar for your playback. Though Foobar is capable of many things, one of them is not intuitive usage and a complete package. You would be best to use Foobar with EAC and this would allow Kernel streaming which would bypass the KMIXER on some PC platforms.

That being said... I have had experience that using Kernel Streaming on some PC's causes XP to crash.

If you want a simpler interface with secure ripping I might suggest J River. In the case of J River it would be best too use ASIO for your output regardless of using a USB DAC or a Board Level Product (most come with an ASIO driver).

You cannot bypass the KMIXER using Windows media player. I am not that familar with Winamp but it does have the capabilities to run through ASIO for output. iTunes can bypass the KMIXER using a little convuluted plugin which passes the music through Foobar and out either by kernel streaming or ASIO to bypass the KMIXER.

Thanks
Gordon
