VISTA users.

I just installed VISTA but little bit confused.

How are you connecting your PC to your Audio system?

I guess you still use the USB out to connect to your outboard DAC using devices such as HagUsb, U24?

If so, What kind of USB to SPDIF device are you using?

Do you need still need to install the driver that came with the device?

Vista automatically detects it or something without any additional drivers installed?

What's the KS: USB DAC?

Here's what I have:

Software: Windows VISTA Ultimate and Itunes 7.2
Hardware: M-Audio Transit (USB to Outbord DAC device), Meridian DAC.

I heard about 'USBaudio.sys' Windows native driver?

Can I use transit via USBaudio.sys native driver?

How about give it a try Eandylee. The USBaudio driver does support more than what's listed on the website. The demo copy is free. There's only one way to find out.

OK. Here's a few things I found out.

ASIO by pass USBAUDIO.sys. that's what it's desing to do.

I think M-Audio is not designed to work directly with USBAUDIO.sys.

On the other hand, Benchmark DAC1 is design as plug & play with some sort of fimrware to use the native driver, USBAUDIO.sys.

by the way, Anybody know if ASIO4ALL pass through DD/DTS?
