Hello, I don't know if anyone might be able to give me a bit of advice. I currently have a Sony Vaio laptop running Windows 7.
I use Foobar to play lossless Flac files stored on my NAS drive. I have an headphone amp which I connect to via USB (printer cable type, not USB to USB). I use the WASAPI setting in Foobar to get bit perfect sound.
I am thinking of purchasing my first tablet running Windows 8 but I wanted to check that I would still be able to run Foobar from it via USB. From what I can gather a tablet would only have a micro USB connection. If this is the case would I still be able to connect it to my headphone amp bearing in mind I would need the connection that goes into the amp to be the same type of connection I use now (printer cable).
I think I may be able to buy a micro USB adapter that would allow me to plug in my current USB 2.0 (printer cable) cable but I'm not certain this will work?
I could also do with a recommendation for which laptop to get.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me.
