I prefer the ICE-chips, a good balance between sound quality, usability (supported right away) and budget. So a Delta1010 gives me suficient routing capability so I hear my sound, kids their audiobooks and the default annoyance is somewhere else. (Or while doing some audio work route/ patch monitor channels, different inputs and output as up to 8.1. I also use the digital inputs with a DI-box to convert electricity to light and back. For the headphones I prefer Presonus or ART as manufacturers. There's not much difference (for me) to SPL (e.g. Control Black) or Lehmann (Linear Pro Black). Nevertheless I spend more money on the headphones like AKG K240DF and preferrably studio quality. And regarding Gentoo: keep up the spirit, there are not many left. ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

Ideally USB2/3 PCI(e) can have lower latency than USB. Anyway, the Zowie Vital is reported to be expensive but good.

[Alsa-user] need hardware suggestion
Hello Dear Linux ALSA Nerds! I need a suggestion. My Xonar DX is dying long painful death(power port is loose). (such a shame, 24 bit, 192khz, i will miss you) Same goes for my Earphones(HD 598, cushions break apart and don't seem replacable, somewhat loose cable). So now I am looking to replace and slightly upgrade my set. All of items above are good, just are used to death. I am on Linux Gentoo, so compiling kernel modules and configuring .asoundrc is not an issue. I am heavy computer user. So video content, games, audio content, VOIP calls. ideally with low latency(for gaming). Ideally USB2/3(i don't want it to share resources with mouse/keyboard). AMP purpose is new Earphones which I am about to buy( suspect SH HD600 or something similar) Would be nice it had preamp for microphone. Budget for all is ideally 400 $/euro. Overblown budget one that you highly recommend will be considered. Bonus suggestion for good set of on ear earphones.(around $300) Please suggest either: DAC + separate AMP(I know, amps are out of scope for you, but come on, if you have one and it makes you happy - share some love!) DAC + AMP combo. Any of above + god set of Headphones for all of it. Don't be shy and shower me with options! :) Thank you in advance! ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
