Thats odd ... I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and it found my sound card without a driver ... it seems to see everything. I am running it straight to my Levinson 360S via coax and I can adjust the oversampling in the properties of the sound card. I was planning on a straight USB to S/PDIF solution over a soundcard to beat the dreaded kernal mixer hashing of the rip ... the search for the perfect rip.
The USB to S/PDIF gizmos should work but 64 bit drivers might be a bit difficult. There are several listed that support VISTA so a quick email to tech support might answer the ultimate question. My guess is you can find one under $200 that will detect and install PnP without a driver.
Good luck ... I will keep my eye on this post as I too am on the hunt for a USB to S/PDIF device that works with a Windows 64 bit OS.
My goal is to bypass the kmixer and run straight to the Levinson 360S but I want the ability to adjust the sampling rate from the USB gizmo to the DAC. I am currently at 3000+ full CDs ripped and counting. I expect to cross the 2 TB threshold within a couple months.
