Notebook and the Eeepc 901 will sound different. The 901 runs on Atom CPU + SSD hard-drive. In theory, it should sound better. I have yet to test how my Sony notebook sounds.

Would it be even better if you connect your eeePC to an external sound device e.g. EMU0404 before connecting to DAC?

I am quite happy with the current sound quality.

Note: My 2nd hand DacMagic only cost $2k (with $500 for transformer upgrade). The USB to coaxial converter is only ~ RMB110. The 0404 EMU costs ~ 1.5k that also needs a transformer upgrade which may end up costing ~ 2k in total. Hence, I will stick w/ my USB to coaxial converter.

轉述某no台OPPO 83SE (UPGRADE VERSION) 的用家評鑑:
200hrs burn-in time has passed. Let me sum it up.

The SE's 2.CH has better detail that brings low-level spatial cues when comparing with the original 83. The treble has better extension and air. The vocal is warmer, and less fragile. The soundstage is wider and deeper with a better sense of the instruments' locations. Overall, the 2.Ch of the 83SE is 35% better than the original 83.

The M.CH shares the same characteristic of the 2Ch. I used to feel there was something in the soundtrack with the original 83. However, with the SE, this feeling is gone. The SE sounds very clear, and brings out everything detail. It even has better resolution and clarity that my Denon 4802 AV-Amp (It is the U.S. version of the A11SR. Although it is old, it is still a fine sounding AV-Amp). However, the Denon reproduce the surround sound effects better the SE. Overall, the M.Ch of the SE improved 30% of the original 83.

This upgrade not only improves the sound, it also improves the video a little bit. The picture is a little clearer, and has a little better contrast.
The bottom line: I cannot think of any upgrade that improves that much. It is absolutely worth $300USD.
本人十分欣賞兩人對83和83SE(UPGRADE VERSION)細心的分析評鑑!

Intex hing,

I rather stick to my EeePC than spending an extra $2580 to upgrade to the Oppo 83SE at the moment.

Thx!

用得Eee901都係想平同簡單,USB output connect 0404USB 已經係digital output to dac.
想玩得再好我見有其他人會用Macbook改SSD firewire output to D高階有firewire input DAC.

I am not professional at all in audio. I guess years of being in the IT industry does have it's affects.
