Opps ordered wrong USB Card for CAPS v3... any help


Recommended Posts

I am halfway through the CAPS v3 build and noticed i ordered the SOtM tX-USB Audiophile PCI to USB Audio Card when I should have ordered the SOtM tX-USBexp version. Even though the web site was somewhat confusing he policy of the company is "no returns". Does anyone know of a riser that would allow this PCI card to work with the Intel DN2800MT motherboard or a out $300.

Thanks for some help

look for someone who wants a new, in wrapper, pci board and sell it for $275.

Main listening (small home office):

Main setup: Surge protectors +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Protection>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three BXT (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three BXT

Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup.
Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. 

All absolute statements about audio are false :)

Have you actually asked the company if you can return it...? If you explain the situation they may be reasonable. Other than that you'll have to sell it on and order the correct one.

...in my opinion / experience...

While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing.

And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism.

keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out.

PCI or PCIe? If it is unopened, I have a hard time imagining them not exchanging it if you explain. If you have opened it and installed, that is another thing.

Agree. "No returns" is generally geared to refunds or exchange of opened products. If the condition is pristine, ie. could be resold, I would get in contact to arrange an exchange. Obviously you would need to pay postage....

Good luck!
