New JRiver build available that addresses the ASIO issue for 24/96.

I used the new J River Media Center 12 with the Turbo II at 24/96 under ASIO.  Works very well.  The bug is fixed.

J River has a nicer user interface than Foobar, to my ears sounds better, and has a nice feature that allows the use of DirectX plug ins like Burwen Bobcat.

I concur.  For an even better interface that sits on top of JRiver, try Cinemar MainLobby.  The product is modular with plug-in interface screens for music (MusicLobby), DVDs (DVDLobby), TV (TVLobby), Internet radio, etc.  The screens can be customized.  It includes a server, so that remote clients can access/control music.  Also controls devices, such as CD/DVD changers.

I have one installation on my music server, which sits in another room.  And another installation is on a tablet PC, which I use as a remote control.  Tablet PC talks to music server via WiFi.  Music server serves up PCM to my DAC via 20 meter Opticis USB cable.
