i was basically just looking for verification that the m-audio 2496 card would suit my needs. I switched from an M-audio Delta 44 to an echo Mia Midi. The Mia Midi has a noticeably lower noise floor. -- Enter the

Hi! Vinyl degrates high frequencies after few listenings. And no one knows what engineers did when they printed your disc. I have an edirol ua 25 and it can easly record 30khz recording (tested during a digital room correction session). By the way, common soundcards cant go over 85db SNR, so

Yeah, I found that CNET article, but it doesn't tell me much about IC Ensemble. I'm in the valley, design analog, and never heard of them. Here's the deal. When you make a chip, you publish specs. Now most of these companies that make chips for the PC business publish electricals for supply

http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/asus_xonar_d1/2.htm Now that looks pretty good. It uses a crystal DAC chip and Crystal ADC, both with real limits. Asus rolled their own logic chip to glue it all together. On paper, that looks really good. Of course, you probably want to look for some

I often wonder has VIA came out of nowhere with a DSP audio chip (Envy24). Oversampled ADCs are not exactly rocket science, but to make one with a product history of previous chips is suspicious. If you really are concerned with fidelity, I'd look at the chip specs. The card performance can
