You don't disable it. You simply connect an optical digital audio cable to the Juli@ socket and the other end to your DAC chip. Or you can connect a coax digital audio cable to the supplied breakout connector for the Juli@ and to the coax input for the Sigma DAC box.

> I might like the Juli@ dac better...who knows.

Yes.

Can you tell us more about the rest of the system?

- Which OS?
- Which player s/w?
- Which driver interface (ASIO, DirectSound, Waveout/MME, WaveRT,
WASAPI, WDM Kernel Streaming)

I use a Juli@ card with unbalanced analog output to my good system. This PC runs under Win XP and is dedicated to music playback using J.River MC 12. The Juli@ Win XP drivers for MME, DirectSound and ASIO have been flawless.

I also have an AudioTrak Prodigy HD2 card from the same company (ESI) in the same PC. Its ASIO driver and the Juli@ driver co-exist without any problems; both are completely reliable. (The AudioTrak card has a newer DAC chip with better specs but no coax digital output. It does a fine job for $ 75. A worthwhile upgrade from on-board sound in my systems.)
