Just one caution about HagUSB. It supports only 16-bit/44.1k or 48k signal. It won't work for 24/96k. Other than that, it is a great product.
Digital Out vs. USB
When using the digital out on a soundcard allow the card to process the signal in any way? Or are you getting the same data stream that would come from USB.
I am wanting to run FLAC files from Foobar straight out to the DAC. If I can skip the USB and use the digital out I can greatly increase my options with regard to DACs.
