I think about it at night before I go to sleep.
Oh, and I use an M-AUDIO Audiophile 2496.

For a few months ago I used a system without any audio on the motherboard, having two soundcards to achieve 4 in - 4 out.
Then the system broke down, and I had to build up a new one (with XP). This time with a soundchip on the motherboard.
No opportunities to get 4 channels again. So I inserted a SB Live! card in the PCI slot.
I got it working to play a proper stereo-file, but didn't succeed so far in getting the 4C situation back.
I guess an external DAC contraption via USB could provide this, but it's beyond my budget so far.

Me too. It's been my sound card since... 2001 maybe? Still going strong. |

Its a same more people have not experienced XMPlay with an external DAC and a high quality system.
After using many players , foobar, winamp, and every other player I could think of and find over the years I can truely say the XMPlay with WASAPI out sounds better than all of them.

what's an external DAC useful for if you only have desktop speakers?  |

Well, you can actually notice the difference with normal equipment on some files. So its not like we don't know xmplay p0vvnz  BTW, internal SiS (710 if my memory doesn't falter) soundcard + really cheap chinese 2.1 speakers. |

xmplay pwns in every aspect anyway, nothing can beat the ultimate module player. srsly, there aren't many things that would hold me from moving to ubuntu, but xmplay is one of them. i've never come across another player that's so module oriented (i didn't count, but i guess that far more than half of my playlist is modules). |

Me too. It's been my sound card since... 2001 maybe? Still going strong. I should add that I then run the audio to a Soundcraft Spirit COMPact mixer and then out (via balanced cables) to a pair of ADAM A7 active near-field studio monitors, or to my Sennheiser HD590 headphones. I also have a 15-metre cable run out to my kitchen (via the secondary artist monitoring section on the mixer) where I have a couple of active 10W Roland/Edirol monitors so I don't have to cook or do the dishes music-less! |

Then you should rather get involved in some "audiophile" forums and not a software support forum. I can imagine that most people *don't* have home cinema and expensive sound cards and whatever. |

Just a reminder that there's a General Discussion forum on this site for topics not specifically concerning XMPlay.

Asus Xonar DX.
The procrastinating clowns at M-Audio can't get their act together vis a vis 64-bit drivers so I dumped my Revo 7.1.

Do people voting here actually heard both options and compared them?
I use Juli@ and happy with it , but external DAC has the potential to sound better .

I have, but to say anything makes music sound better here is sacrilege so I won't comment Lavry Engineering DAC here... Probably sounds the same as a Sound Blaster card |
