I agree that Foobar2000 and J Rivers are the best music players for Windows 8.1 but to get the most out of it on the surface pro 3 you MUST use an external dac that has an ASIO driver. The built-in DAC is pretty limited and not clean as is the Windows audio infrastructure without bypassing via...

As of the last update, the surface pro 3 has a built-in API to act as a miracast receiver though I know of no programs that have been created to date to take advantage of it.

Again, the thread is about a "portable" solution.

I had this problem once. I noticed it when in the battery icon, the cover battery did not show up at all and was thus not being used. disconnecting and reconnecting fixed the issue.

That same company makes a $31,000 DAC. That is expensive! Da Vinci DAC The Surface Pro 128 was over $1000 new. Is that expensive?

I just purchased and installed the SanDisk 128GB Micro SDXC card and it works well. http://amzn.to/Rlq3kM I moved my data from a 64GB Micro SDXC that I had in there before and all is great.

Yes, I do have one. I have also purchased an Audioquest Firefly, Meridian Director, Cambridge Dac Magic, and Audioengine DAC. I tested all of them out and the GeekOut is the most flexible and best sounding solution for getting inexpensive, high quality audio out of a USB port. I kept the GeekOut.

First of all, it is a very high quality DAC (digital to analog converter) and class A amplifier. If you put an optical out (digital), you would do away with its best feature. They also include a 6" usb extender cable with the geekout. You can use that if you don't want it hanging onto the...

Yet people will spend $400 on an ipod that sounds awful in comparison?

Why is that?

If you want your SurfacePro to be the best quality portable audio player: 1. Purchase a Geekout by LH Labs. Geek by LH Labs 2. Install the Geekout ASIO driver 3. Install Foobar2000 and add the ASIO input/output components 4. Install the Foobar2000 SACD and DVD-Audio components At this point...

Thanks. It looks like this will be an excellent addition.

How is the pressure sensitive pen input for drawing and note taking?

For the stylus use alone, you should buy the pro. You can find it used for pretty cheap now

Ralph, Turn on hyper-v and install Linux that way.

Which driver?

It will work well for your purposes. I purchased one to replace my high-end Dell XPS laptop and my iPad. It has served me well. Windows 8 has excellent dictation software that is part of the operating system, but it will also run Dragon if that is what you prefer. The writing ability is...

I can tell that you have not been to a CES. This year, one of my companies showed several products that were made waterproof by simply using our dip. We have many companies that are coming out with our product in them, that will make them waterproof. Microsoft considered using our product...

Microsoft did many things right and many things wrong with the Surface line. The RT would have been a huge success if they would have gotten rid of the need for a desktop and designed all of their apps to be native, touch, non-desktop apps. They should have then priced it at $199 until they...
