RE: Why not use the suggested pieces?

I guess Rick is right that many here do not know much about the gears being considered. I am one of the many.

However, I would strongly advise against the use of the Asus soundcard, having own the Xonar ST. This soundcard may have used excellent components in the build but it has got a horrible ASIO driver.

My initial built was using the ST and I thought the sound was wonderful. But having switched to Juli@(modded with recommendations from GStew, promethk, et al) a few months back, and recently having a listen to the ST, my feelings are that Juli@ @48 latencies gives the feel of a refined high-end system, whereas the ST gives you the run-of-the mill sound with the universal ASIO4ALL @64 latencies. Asus ASIO(beta) driver doesn't work well cMP + cPlay.

Morever, STX cost much more than the Juli@ over here.
