Well since Emu = Creative I wouldn't take their word on the specs .... Creative has a bad (unethical?) habit of stating the CODEC's spec NOT the actual specs of the finished card ... Emu originally developed the chips used in the Live! and Audigy cards back around 1990 and it was WAYYY ahead of anything else at the time ....
The main reason the SDR-1000 speced so ARRL tested it was due mostly to the limitations of the Audigy 2 card they were using back then ... when tested using a Delta 44 the results were night and day ... I'm not saying the Emu card is junk, it's possible that the guys at Emu put their foot down like they have in the past when Creative put their reputations on the line, I'm just saying I'd look for some independent testing before I committed John --- In [email protected], Nick Whyborn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > jr_dakota wrote: > > >The dynamic range of the SDR-1000 equals the dynamic range of the A/D > >converters and in the case of a stock unmodified Delta 44 it's 99db > >.... raise the dynamic range of the A/D converters and you also > >increase the dynamic range of the SDR-100 .. the dynamic range of the > >front end is actually higher than that, there just aren't any commonly > >available/reasonably priced soundcards that can take advantage of it > > > > > Has anyone looked at the E-Mu 0404 > <http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=505&subcategory=491&product=10447&nav=technicalSpecifications>? > http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=505&subcategory=491&product=10447&nav=technicalSpecifications > This is about the same price or slightly cheaper than the Delta-44 and > on paper has about 10dB better SNR and THD. > > Nick, > > G4JNX. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
