Hi Peter,
I was finally able to try XX. Under XP, engine #1 is VERY good! Congratulations! Engine 2 is not for me. It is on a par with other players under ASIO and the others are less cumbersome. I have an EMU 0404 USB which I use for converting to SPDIF into my dcx 2496 xover. It can map to SPDIF only with ASIO. So I can use XX only if I listen through the soundcard analog stage (at night on headphones). I would be still willing to buy it provided I could get the same performance as engine #1 independently from track size. ASIO would be wonderful...
Keep up the good work.
Giulio
