| GaySatyr Senior Member Half dirty ol' man; half horny ol' goat! 1684 Posts 10/00 | Posted - Oct 6 2003 : 9:24PM Understand that this board is designed for extreme high fidelity and does not allow a great deal of adjustment - no fancy equalizers. And, despite its gaming claims (at which it generally sucks), it's really a single purpose implementation: If you want to build a dedicated home theater computer box, it reigns supreme. ~ GaySatyr [Link] |
| AlexPanzer Deactivated User 1593 Posts 6/03 | Posted - Oct 6 2003 : 10:44PM Feature: Superior Fidelity 24-bit ADVANCED HD™ THX® Certified Sound Card I dont think that you can beat this with anything else unless you are willing to go higher than $1,000 on a studio workstation class sound card.

| GaySatyr Senior Member Half dirty ol' man; half horny ol' goat! 1684 Posts 10/00 | Posted - Oct 6 2003 : 11:24PM There really is an audible difference. And it is dramatic. I know - I've tried them all (well, not all, but many). My favorites thus far are the M-Audio Revolution for generic, multi-channel, home theater playback and the EchoAudio Mia (or the Mia/Midi - the Layla model gives you the flexibility of additional channels of input and output) for two-channel stereo recording and playback. Their competition from the mass market computer manufacturers just don't cut the mustard. These boards are not that expensive. They were designed from the outset to be audio boards - not sound cards. Gaming is just not their forte. The gaming sound card manufacturers have different design goals in mind and their cards reflect that bias. I'm not saying that the Creative Audigy 2 sucks totally - just that, if your goal is absolute purity of audio reproduction, you need to look elsewhere. The Audigy 2 boards are a good match for output to a $250~400 mid-fi receiver, but they can't compete if you are truly aiming at high-end hi-fi targets. The boards from EchoAudio, M-Audio and Terratec can. ~ GaySatyr [Link] |
| Sbando Boy Euro Babe Magnet 1839 Posts 6/01 | Posted - Oct 7 2003 : 1:38AM GS told you why and I generally trust his judgement when it comes to computer stuff. Add to that: Soundblaster + VIA KT133A = they made my life miserable. I'll probably go for an M-Audio Audiophile 2496. [Link] |
| GaySatyr Senior Member Half dirty ol' man; half horny ol' goat! 1684 Posts 10/00 | Posted - Oct 7 2003 : 4:39AM Both versions of the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 are available at NewEgg.com. ~ GaySatyr [Link] |
| Sbando Boy Euro Babe Magnet 1839 Posts 6/01 | Posted - Oct 7 2003 : 6:31AM I never installed a pc game in my whole life and music is my #1 hobby. Unfortunately, NewEgg does not ship outside of the US. But it shouldn't be hard to find that card in the EC. I just made a big purchase at pc-silent.de, incredibly cool shop if your need is to make your computer, well, silent. [Link] |
