Nice :)
I'll need to setup usb audio in the future too.
Glad to hear that it works.

Hm, no idea.
But most motherboards / soundcards
allow running a small cable from your
cd player to your motherboard / souncard,
so the device really acts as a cd player.
That way you avoid having to use
the [cd -> data -> cpu -> wav -> D/A -> sound] chain entirely
and you stick to [cd -> {builtin D/A} -> sound]
which avoids your operating system entirely,
so it doesn't involve any software which
could possibly be out of date, entirely.
If you have the possibility, use it,
is much easier :)
