  1. I'm going to use the card almost only for analogue output, because I don't have an external DAC. The price should stay under a maximum of 350€ and I aim to get the card with the best DAC for this price. Since I'm about to build a new PC, the size of the card doesn't matter at all, the PC will have to adapt to the audio card. The card should support up to 24bit/196kHz because I don't want it to fall short of my requirements for a long time. Anyway thank you for your suggestions, any ideas how the DACs on these cards (and also the RME 9632) perform?
  2. To be frank, my name is Dominik - Fat Randy is just my favorite user account name (title of a song I once liked, but the name stayed). Well, I feared worse, this sounds useable to me. It's not exactly user friendly but it could be far worse. I guess I've come to a decision, as soon as I got the money I'll get me a RME 9632. Thanks so far, you were a great help!
  3. Thank you for your answers. I guess this explanation sounds plausible. So how does it look like to change the sample rate? Is it kind of a complex process or is it just a few mouse-clicks / commands to get another sample rate?
  4. I'm currently doing a lot of research because I intend to build me a Linux based audio pc. The basic setup will be very similar to the C.A.P.S. but I'm still not sure which soundcard to use. I've read many posts confirming good Linux support for RME products and of course I also checked the ALSA website which says the same. Anyway I read some posts (among them the Voyage Linux - part of the C.A.P.S. post) writing about problems with automatic changing of the sample rate on the RME 9632, which is the card I like best so far. Since I assume this could be a very annoying fact I would like to know how things really look (is it true, is it false, what does it mean for every day use if it's true, etc). Therefore I'm asking every RME 9632 owner (or former owner) and Linux user (or former Linux user) to post their experiences.
  5. Sorry for bothering you again but I just noticed, that you don't seem to use any effects processed in realtime (equalizer, etc), which is probably to preserve bit perfect playback. Unfortunately I expect that I will have to use an equalizer since my K701 headphones produce very little bass.<br /> <br /> Afaik effect-processing is completely done by the CPU, so this would be a huge increase of CPU load and I'm wondering if the Atom N270 is powerful enough to calculate that. Any experiences? Or could someone maybe try it?<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance!<br /> <br /> EDIT: Additional question to the linux user(s): Does anyone of you happen to use JACK on this CPU, or know if it works without dropouts, etc?
  6. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Since both of you don't have any problems, I guess it will be a D945GSEJT then.
  7. I'm sorry if my English is not that good. I just added the information that I will use Linux because I mentioned realtime and afaik there is no realtime support in Windows. So my question has actually nothing to do with Linux.<br /> <br /> Anyway, you got it all right, appearance/absence of CPU performance caused troubles are exactly what I wanted to know about, because I can't quite believe that this tiny netbook-CPU is powerful enough for a professional audio desktop-PC.<br /> Only thing I still didn't understand: do you (and everyone using a N270 based CAPS) have I/O devices directly on your CAPS or do you only access it through remote desktop?
  8. At first a big thank you to The Computer Audiophile for writing this article, it's an excellent clue for everyone aiming to start a similar project (like me)!<br /> <br /> Now my question: I wonder if the Atom N270 on the D945GSEJT mainboard is able to run bit-perfect realtime (I'm going to use Linux) audio AND an of course simple GUI without problems? Since the OS for the C.A.P.S. is Windows 7 I assume there is a GUI..<br /> <br /> Did anyone using an Atom N270 or a D945GSEJT ever have performance problems? How are you using your N270 based PCs (Server without GUI, Win7 with aero, etc)? I'm a little bit suspicious towards these little Atom CPUs since I always used "big" CPUs.
