Yashu:The problem is this: is the card resampling everything to 48K first, then REsampling to 44.1? The Audigy 2 series *did* do this. And I cannot say for sure how exactly the Audigy 4's ASIO driver works.
Personally, the more I dig into the background of this card, the more it's starting to seem like a good contender for the "cards to avoid" list. (Funny - I was thinking of getting one because of the good DACs they used on that card).
Seriously - keep it for games, movie watching, MP3 listening, everyday computer use... But your idea to get a bitperfect spdif out with USB is definately much simpler - plus you can have a fully functional sound setup under Windows while keeping your 2-channel audio separate and away from the Windows Audio Stack.
USB->I2S DACs are all the rave around here, but many guys are getting great results using USB->SPDIF or even PCI->SPDIF to good external DACs. I think how much jitter one is dealing with depends on so many things that it's hard to tell who is getting what performance.
Aside from actually measuring jitter with a proven technique, these "I think I hear clock jitter" experiments are a little too subjective to be able choose one component over another. Unless one sounds GREAT and other is TOTALLY HORRIBLE!! :o) THen I guess it would be good enough.
CHeers,
Presto
