OK, so correct me if I'm wrong. You are currently working on or have 3 solutions.

First, the H701. Sound quality is OK, but you want better.

Second, analog out from the modded sound card to the amps using PC to tune. Sound quality is better, but still not good enough.

Third, ditching the sound card altogether and using multiple USB DAC's and tuning on the PC. Should be tops in SQ.

Is that about right? If so, I'm wondering how much better the SQ might be between the H701 and the second unit I mentioned. As you know I have the H701, too and hopefully I can eek out some better SQ with Vista. The 3rd option might be best, but it doesn't exist yet. So I'm curious about the 2nd option. It may be the next step for me.

I think you said you'll have the 2nd option running in a few weeks and you will do some A B comparisons. Please let us know what you think of the 2, side by side.

PS, has anyone looked into upgrading the H701 to make it closer to the H900 as far as SQ? Perhaps some of the internal parts can be swapped for higher end (ie. more expensive) parts. I'm assuming you already looked into this. What are your thoughts on that?
