John, your post helps a lot, thank you for taking your time to write it two times!

Unfortunately I know the issues with ALSA drivers and various sound cards. That's why I was thinking geting an USB DAC, with the least amount of configuration settings needed. (among the other advantages)

I guess that when you say to use the "hw" plug is to avoid dmix for example. Although that's a problem I have right now, I will look into that in my new dedicated machine.

A last question, do you use Linux for music reproduction?, if so, whats your setup? (hard & soft)

Thanks,

Francisco
