RE: improved sound quality, wonder why?
Hi. I use an Arcam usb dac, that's the only connection between my PC and amplifier. My interconnects are all high end.

Re: improved sound quality, wonder why?
Are you using the built-in sound system on the Mother Board? New board new sound chip more than likely. My Windows desktop computer is 4 years old and I have to admit that the Bilt-in Realtek Sound device - particularly with Windows 7 and up - sounds very nice and records well. Corus I’m probably clutching at straws regarding your Sound quality difference, I’m just guessing and assuming you’re using a built-in sound device, use an external USB Sound device and you’ll probably notice even more difference. Other factors may come into play of course, you say the power supply was replaced? Well it could be possible that the previous power supply you had had some faults, was under powering the computer in some way thus the sound quality could have been degraded. No difference in the sound between MP3 320K and HD Audio files? Well you probably won’t pick any difference from a built-in sound card but if you have a dedicated DAC or other system for HD stuff then you certainly should notice the difference. > On 7 Apr 2016, at 10:22 PM, Walter wrote: > > Hi folks. a couple of months back my PC had a power supply problem and > also required a new mother board.

improved sound quality, wonder why?
Hi folks. a couple of months back my PC had a power supply problem and also required a new mother board. Trying to find out the trouble took a bit of time as my computer guy ordered the parts and they went missing and he had to re-order. The whole thing took around 5 weeks before I could get my PC up and running again. When I did and played some music through my hi-Fi I was astonished to hear the sound reproduction had dramatically improved, and I don't just mean a little, it is a huge improvement. My computer guy was here this morning for another matter not concerning my PC but another computer I have but I asked his opinion on the improved sound quality. He noticed it right away and felt that although I was playing mp3 tracks at 320kbs, he said it sounded identical to the hd sound on his music tracks, he buys hd definition tracks. I was wondering just why the difference from before and now? Everything is the same, my sound set up has not changed in any way. The only thing that has changed is the power supply and the motherboard. I can't see the power supply impacting on sound quality but the mother board is different. The old one was a Gigabite but the new one is Msi? or is it IMS, I really can't remember but whereas the old motherboard had usb 3 ports, this one has usb 3.1. I'm wondering if this is what is making the difference. Do any of you use usb3.1 ports and if so, has it made a difference to your sound quality? That is the only thing I can think of that would make a difference. Opinions welcome. Walter. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
