RE: USB DAC connection problem - further update

Unfortunately, I don't have another faster PC around, except the desktop probably 15 feet away (well, maybe I can get a mighty long USB cable to try things out).

Actually my ultimate intention was not to actually use that Windows tablet or the old laptop for audio. I was actually thinking about putting a small computer near the audio area as a source, and would like to try out if a Win7/Foobar based system would have a meaningful sound quality difference (for the better of course) as compared to the Squeezebox Duet which I am using or a Squeezebox Touch (which is said to be a step up as a digital transport compared to the Duet). I have sort of grown accustomed to the ergonomics of the Squeezebox controller and would only go the computer (with remote apps) route if the sound justifies it. As with most paranoid audiophiles, I am concerned that a computer may dump all kinds of noises into the system (I do listen to vinyl and CDs).
