I'm currently researching the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard and I've read that it may have some sound issues. I'd like to know more about these potential issues from actual users of the board, or any system builders who have experience with the UD5H.
The main issues seem to be with DPC latency, which can produce various sound issues, as noted in this review:

Can anyone who owns or has experience with the UD5H confirm that DPC latency is still an issue? Has Gigabyte addressed this?
