How to avoid Kmixer

Hi, is there any solution to avoid Kmixer without having to give up on using Apple Lossles in iTunes or a PC?

This is my digital source:
- PC (Windows XP)
- Burn with EAC, import into iTunes in Apple Lossless
- Remote control via bluetooth with Salling Clicker on Palm TX
- Wavelength Audio Brick USB DAC

I don´t want to give up on using iTunes (Apple Lossless format) for PC or the USB DAC.

I am thinking the only solution is buying a Mac and problem solved. Any other suggestions?

AirPort Express is the only way to use iTunes with a PC

I'm confused by the responses here. In XP, you can bypass kmixer for a device simply by going into Control Panel and unchecking the box to map through the device. Does this change when you use iTunes? You can't use iTunes with a USB device, even the Turbo-2? Or is it because XP doesn't see the Brick as an audio device that can be unmapped?

My first line of my last post was meant to be a copy of a quote from Audioengr, not my statement.

I have a Wavelength Audio Brick and an iMac, which I just got. I have burned most of my CDs on a PC. Would I get better sound if I burned these over again with the iMac? Or is Kmixer just a problem for playback?

Thanks.

Kmixer is just a playback problem. No need to rerip unless you didn't use software that does bit perfect ripping.
