Good ! But for the sake of discussion , if you tested this program and got the usuall null result . There would be next program and the one after that and so forth. That test with completely different OS and computers still outputting the exact same thing is a good indicator of how any off those program's would perform existing or future ones. Beyond getting quality hardware if you are using and internal soundcard and setting the PC for bitperfect audio . There is not much you can do , and with USB just make sure things are bitperfect . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
