Short version: Is there a decent PC sound card that will approach sound quality of Squeezebox analog outputs? I have an old Turtle Beach Santa Cruz that doesn't come close.
Longer version: I upgraded my computer speakers to NAD320BEE and EPOS ESL-3s on stands in my home office (work from home, ears couldn't take my computer speakers anymore). I currently have an old Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card and use Softsqueeze to stream uncompressed wma/flac music from my slimserver (and the occassional streaming music from my Urge subscription). Problem is that the Squeezebox sound quality is infinitely better than the sound card and glaringly revealed on this little system. But I don't want to bother switching inputs between Squeezebox and the PC sound card. Will any of the Echo cards or M-Audio 2496 come close to Squeezebox? Any other solution others have come up with? -- darrellcraig ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrellcraig's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6840 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28023 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
