PC-Based Set Up/Process - Comments?
Foobar will allow the use of a ASIO driver. There is also ASIO for All. I am not to sure if the latter works as well as a sound card driver based solution. Both will bypass Kmixer. I use dithering and secret rabbit code with Foobar 0.83 to the DAC...

ASIO based driver and soundcard to bypass Kmixer. 
VSA VR4 jr's with Bryston mono's?
The 7BSSt amps are great. I have 4 of them running the Infinity RS1B's and could not be happier. Very solid bass, and clean highs. They should meet your long term requirements well. 
Help with PC Audio Quality vs. CD
Try running Foobar 8.3 with the SCR and dithering. Yes, adding noise to the DAC can open up the imaging a bit more. Run ASIO4All with the card or asio drivers for Foobar. Make sure you try 44.1 output first. Upsampling in software has proven no di... 
Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound
Infinity RS1B or the Kappa 9 series blows them all away for the price.Happy Listening 
Up to the Minute: Streaming Bits to Audiophile DAC
Quit your whining and show some proof that the jitter is still present. I guess Arnie and gang is is a fool for creating such a product. Several write ups confirm that the jitter is reduced consideralby, to the point of nil. If you are hawking you... 
Up to the Minute: Streaming Bits to Audiophile DAC
Cwlondon,I never looked into using a USB device or any other regarding the output to the DAC. There is no need when a capable card is able to output a bit perfect stream. With Foobar or an ASIO plugin you have eliminated the Kmixer in a windows ba... 
Up to the Minute: Streaming Bits to Audiophile DAC
Jitter is dependant on the last out device to the DAC. How the DAC handles the jitter depends on the build quality. Bits are bits, period. Whether SPDIF or Toslink does not matter to the DAC. If there is electrical interference, that is a differen... 
best all-round,full range at $2000
None of the above mentioned can stand up to the Infinity Kappa 9's. Tough to drive but worth every penny. Have fun 
What is Best Sound from PC into MF Tri-vista
I have the Tri Vista 21 DAC as well and use Foobar as the frontend with a Chaintek sound card. Output is with kernel streaming via SPDIF. The DAC is connected to a BP25 and 4 7BST amps. Output and sound quality to the RS1B's is superb. I store all... 
Bit perfect digital output from pc
You can get the Chaintec 710 for about 25.00 dollars and set the output to 44 khz. Output to the DAC is toslink only on this card. Foobar as the frontend with kernel streaming. Should be no differnce in sound output when you are bit perfect. 
Need help choosing a power amp
Look for the Bryston 3B - 4B - or 7B series amplifiers. All come with a 20 yr warranty and will be in the price range you desire. 
What is the sound quality from PC to home stereo.
I am using my PC as the database/transport to a Tri Vista 21 DAC. This then feeds the Bryston BP25 Pre to 4 7BST monoblocks. The speakers are Infinity RS1B's with a crossover. Foobar is the frontend and the files are ripped to WAV and tagged with ... 
Anyone know WMA?
Well then why don't you reccomend using Foobar as I am. You can tag the file with the FreeDB plugin after ripping to WAV format. You can rip with EAC or the foobar program. Kernel streaming with bit perfect output is no problem using Foobar. One d... 
Your Preference U24, Xitel, M-Audio or Edirol ???
Use a Chaintec 710 pc card with kernel streaming to the DAC for bit perfect output. No need to spend copious amounts of money to output to the DAC. You now have bypassed the Kmixer from Windows. Foobar 2000 as the frontend for the card. Bingo. Mark
