Spec are here Could this be THE motherboard to make a DIY car mp3 player (assuming you didn't have a empeg and didn't want to pay $800 for one)?

So you're taking clean 44.1kHz audio and upsampling it to 48kHz before output... then caring about the components after the DAC?!!" It would appear to be a gimmick for people who don't already have enough fans within their PC cases! Hugo
