I'm told the SBT implements a transparent digital volume control (I.e. no scaling artifacts) down to -48db when running into a 24 bit DAC, so you could in fact use the SBT digital volume with the mojo. But I use a preamp with analogue volume control. -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x

It means the DAC dictates the rate of data send, so the DAC syncs to its own internal clock and "pulls" audio data from the host instead of the host sending a stream and dictating. Async is likely to be the highest quality option because the DAC doesn't rely on the PC audio card clock.

Indeed. I didn't get chance to install EDO and test it myself until the Hugo had to go back unfortunately. I'm sure it works but it has two modes "generic USB" and "HD USB". I believe only the second supports asynch but could be wrong.

Am testing the Hugo as I write this. Very impressive. Too many options and a complete pain in the butt to operate, but excellent sound quality. I would stick with using the volume on the SBT if that's what you're used to, and set a static line out volume level on the mojo. Watch out though as
