Confused..isn't your Asus Xonar E1 cm6631 based ? I am not sure it is worth testing the adaptive USB. If you do an ls on your computer, while playing it might change the jitter spectrum. This is what took many audiophiiles into the rat hole. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
