  1. My Initial Impression of the site was that It Is a very friendly place and this has not changed that. If I could write as well as I talk, the conveyance of my posts would not be an Issue, but misunderstandings happen .
  2. Yes, of course I'm talking about the consumer market. I'll say this one more time; "I've never gave computer audio a chance". As far as the professional aspect, those are two different worlds. My only Interest Is with how far the computer audio market has come for the average sod to enjoy high quality playback. Your conjecture on my statements Is kind of off, and I'm sure you could also say I made a broad statement as well but If you had read the sound cards I listed, It should have been a tip-off. Is this web-site to help people learn about computer audio, or to chase them away?
  3. I'm using the analog for both Mr.C. I wondered how much the drivers affected sound. The audiotrak uses ESI's drivers which have a much smaller footprint than the Asus drivers. I'm thinking about the Lynx card or even an external DAC, the Bryston BDA-1 Is on my short list. I've looked at some of the speakers mentioned here, but I would have to hear them In person before I spend that kind of money on them . I've always been a Klipsch speaker person, as they are usually fairly good for the money spent.
  4. I'm not sure how to take that post Jon? It comes off as being arrogant. Now you know the reason behind my screen name, What... The Audiotrak supports all mentioned sample rates. I said, I never gave PC audio a chance, I didn't say I was an Idiot. Like I said, those of us that have been Into PC's for decades know the checkered past of PC audio, especially the IBM compatibles and never really thought about using them for audio.
  5. Oohh well, guess nobody knows? Not a big deal, just thought I could get some advice on how sound Is handled different with certain audio cards, and If maybe I was doing anything wrong with the cards.

  7. A rather trivial question for you people. I'm cutting to the chase here wihtout the semantics because that's the way I am. Anyway, I have two audio cards I'm using right now, the Prodigy HiFi 7.1 and the STX from Asus. The question regards the colouring of sound while using such audio cards, and the question of whether a card with lesser spec's can actually sound better than one that's rated superior? I have not done allot of subjective listening with both but In the little time I spent with both, the HiFi seem to be more precise with sound while also sounding warmer at the same time, even though the STX has superior spec's. Am I looney here, or could It be the drivers that run the STX as to why It does not sound that great. Sure, the STX Is clear, but at the same time more digital. Where as the HiFi has a more analog sound to It. So how much does something like the drivers or the sound chip Itself colour sound? PC histroy: Long story short, yes I've been Into PC's for decades. No, PC's for sound and music was never an option, unless you owned an Amiga. I know all about Adlib,Soundblaster,Roland..etc It was still better to own stand alone. That's all changed right under my nose It seems. Yes I'm planning on upgrading with the help of this site. I'm crawling back under my rock now....
