So true! I use tube audio gear. My Audio pre-amplifier is a McIntosh C2500 and I regularly use the USB input to its internal digital soundcard. The sound from that preamp is magnificent. When I ran the same source to a USB soundcard, bypassing the McIntosh digital card, with that signal sent to the Mc preamp & then to the amplifier, the audio was pitiful in comparison. The difference is remarkable in depth and transparency. The better soundcard stands out like a sore thumb.
The quality of the soundcards do make a tremendous difference and with that said; I do prefer the sound of my K3s to the K3. 73, Gary KA1J > Nor does using some non certified soundcard does not sound like the > path to pristine audio... > > -- > 73's, and thanks, > Dave (NK7Z) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
