Cerrot, thank you - at last, some aspects of this debate are starting to come into focus.
Some time ago when I was trying to be a pioneer with USB into USB compatible DACs, some pro audio guy looked at my like I was asking for 78 RPM records, saying that firewire was the only way to go, and the pro audio guys abandoned USB a long time ago.
Interesting that a year or two later, the new trend in "high end" audio seems to be USB direct into DACs.
I have had some success using USB but also experience drop outs as mentioned by Cerrot and a certain cloudiness to the sound at times.
If firewire is the way to go, then what computers/notebooks and/or software is that fastest way to achieve this?
In the meantime, I think I will sell my brand new, unopened Wadia dock....
Thank you,
