It makes sense for me because the stoopid ST + H6 is vaporware for most parts of the world, and I need a high quality stereo + multi-channel analogue-out card. I don't care about it's digi pass-through abilities as it's quite likely such features will be integrated into GPUs/Mobos over the next 12mth. And it'll be a looong time (if ever) before PAP/HDCP works in GNU/Linux anyway. > Then you could have saved money with a DX or a D2X. I believe the DAC, OPAMPS & circuitry in general are improved on the HDAV compared to the D series... But TBH I need to refresh my memory on that. > It doesn't look as if Asus is actually going to sell the daughter board > separately. However, it's the same H6 board used by the HDAV1.3 Deluxe. ROBSCIX who's done a lot of reviews of Xonars, & apparently has connections 'speculates' Asus will, but it seems strange to me. There's no way I'm going to buy both just to get hold of the H6, makes me so angry! > The driver already knows about that.

Good to know analogue's primed for the ST but so far it's looking pointless for me as I don't just want stereo, sigh. The main card still isn't available anywhere in Oceania anyway! Asus has behaved deceptively throughout this product's cycle IMO. Cheers, Jed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
