Review : Always resamples to 48Khz
Just about OK.

I bought this for the optical S/PDIF output which as lacking on the mobo, however the digital output configuration only offers 48Khz, so all lossless CD rips are resampled.

Does support WASAPI in Vista with a 48Khz stream, I used foorbar2000 to resample lossless rips.

Device driver hasn't been updated since 2007, which speaks for itself I'd say.

All in all, the Realtek on the mobo was better.
