Not being a certified "Information Technologies" guy, I decided to contact the IT department while here at my day job (I work for an auto maker). They confirmed that a computer's sound card is not involved in transferring data (audio or other) from the hard drive to USB ports. The drivers involved being standard USB drivers. It is of course not impossible that they be wrong. I plan to go see them and ask about conversion and output formats used by the encoding/reading software.
To be continued...
In the mean time, it would be nice if Gordon Rankin (of Wavelength Audio) gave us his take... Gordon, are you by any chance there?
