Wow! Big difference!
I had a problem to locate that ASIO DLL, but finally I found it here: http://otachan.com/out_asio(dll).html
Download this: out_asio(dll)_067.7z (dll version) Ver. 0.67 (182KB) (2006/10/4), and unzip it to C:\Program Files\Winamp\plugins
More info about how to do it: http://www.aqvox.de/Asio-USB-Audio-installation-e.htm

I will have to dig up my experimental laptop again though. It's buried under...stuff....

Sorry for the late post...

Actually, no...I haven't tried it, yet.  Only because I've been a little busy.  I'm at work, now.  When I get home...I'll install and give it a test run.

After reading the article, I thought it would be a good informative post.  So far...on my site...I had one review from a Mod.  He seemed to think it wouldn't actually benefit the end user.  However, from your reactions...it seems it does.


Hope you guys like it!

Steve

Yeah, it definitely works on my Vista. To describe it in one word, the sound is much richer.

Does it make any difference with 192 kbps mp3s? If it really makes that big a difference I might actually switch to winamp...

I can't answer your specific question, because I have mp3s ranging from 128 to 320kbps, but whatever I listened to sounded better.
