Can't say as I blame you. I've been contemplating the same idea and maybe looking at a newer FireWire interface. Hard to justify the expense given that the 828 is just about tolerable in xp most of the time - and it still sounds great. Oh well, maybe it's time for an easier life.

Rob

Swapped for a USB2 version, did a totally clean reinstall of XP and still get audio dropouts when connected to network. Does anyone know if...
