I'm on it.

Yeah, like this:

1) I'm skeptical Windows XP sounds any better than Windows 7/8 (especially if using WASAPI output is an option). 2) Even more skeptical there are differences in sound between foobar versions. Just use the latest version and keep the drivers for your dac up-to-date. 3) USB is USB - I wouldn't bother with any of those special 'audiophile' cards. Total waste of money.

You're going to have to pull apart the power supply to see what you need. Most likely, the switch is held in place with plastic tabs you will have to compress, and it will pop right out. That isn't a big issue. Radio shack may still carry one that works. OR you could scab one out of a broken computer power supply.(thrift shop!). The big issue is that XP is dead. At the beginning of the year I tried reloading a couple of XP machines. Nothing but headaches. At that time, updates weren't working. I had to spend hours researching why. Seems MS knew it was broken, but why worry about a soon to be dead OS? Who knows if you could get it updated or activated. I have a couple of XP beaters here, and all they do is nag me about upgrading. I use a Antec quiet case with my music PC. Works fairly well. A couple year old laptop in a docking station works well too, and it's quiet. Whatever you do, avoid windows 8 like the plague. I just can't seem to get it to behave with Foobar. XP was easy, win 7 ok. But 8 just is such a pita.

I didn't want to overhype them?

Amen, Peter. I effing love that show. I would let Joel Kinnaman crash on my couch any time.

Statistics are my life and drinking is my religion. Next ...

As does Lexicon.

Count 1: Malicious positivity. Count 2: Wrongful frivolity. Count 3. Excessive height.

Al and Dinny will be relieved that I'm throwing my support behind the Kings.

That's easy, we like the teams that are winning. Any other questions?
