Or you can rip them to .wav and play with foobar.The NJM2068 opamps don't sound that good. Replace them with AD825 biased with 4 mA.

*** Or you can rip them to .wav and play with foobar. ***Perhaps. I played with foobar, and decided it wasn't very usable, although i liked the configurability.

Have a look at diyaudio.com and similar forums about the best sounding opamps.I am afraid that sound card makers used the cheapest parts that seem to conform to what is used in pro audio, not hi fi audio where there is a consensous about the better sounding opamps.
If one wants to just play wav files, Foobar is one of the best. There is a consensous in this forum also.
*** Have a look at diyaudio.com and similar forums about the best sounding opamps. ***"best sounding"? by what criteria? and do you even know what the op amps are being used for? in *my* experience, it's critical to match the DAC with specific op amps (particularly for the filtering, less so if it's I-V) otherwise you may not obtain the spec sheet performance. What may be "best sounding" in one application may not be appropriate for another application. Perhaps one day you will realise this yourself.

The "best", according to some geeks? :-) Sorry, but i tend not to listen to music in front of a computer screen. And unfortunately, foobar is just not very usable without a screen and a keyboard.
