A question to covertor-knowledgeable folks – anyone know why this chip sounds more sterile and dryer than comparable convertors? I read a. Prodigy X-Fi NRG is a powerful channel, bit / 96kHz capable PCIe based soundcard featuring the AKM AK D/A Converter for playback signals with.

We generally believe that onboard DSP solutions on audiocards will soon be history. The reason is most likely not aom the lack of bit-to-bit transfer precision, but in the PLL influence in the transceivers or in dithering reformation.

In today’s native processing environment, it is obvious that the value ajm a powerful driver providing low CPU load and low latency is considered much more valuable by professionals, compared to onboard DSP hardware.

Duties and Customs Declarations: ESI plans to release new multi-channel solutions in the near future. These days, when we talk to the members of our professional user community, we can see that the demand for a higher recording quality standard is getting more and more important, although we have to admit, that aom is a considerably slow process. Feel The Sunshine, Pulp Friction and some other test compositions akj clear compressed mastering and timbre-catchy high frequency range.

Headphones Despite the fact that this card does not have a separate output to headphones, they can be connected using the 2RCA-minijack adapter.

Unless otherwise specified, this item comes with 30days warranty from the shipment date.

Buffer size can be set in drivers. As more and more professionals are producing music and media content for higher bit and sample rates, the 458 demand for consumer products that support these features is also growing. Signals are routed on the level of drivers, bit-to-bit, without quality loss. Many professionals are also buying higher spec hardware because they understand that higher spec hardware also works better even when working with lower samplerates.

Does it threaten high-quality soundcards supporting qkm sampling formats, or on the contrary will it draw attention to the high quality sound and promote high-quality sound devices?

This is also useful for old applications, which are not supported by WDM drivers. Right now, we are aim at the beginning of this development – in the future, there will be less and less DSP based products in the audio market and native processing solutions will get even more important.

For consumer products, Audiotrak brand will release LP Low Profile type products which will inherit all the available features in a half sized PCI board and which will fit nicely in a small form factor PC cases.

Taking into account its price and professional orientation, we found no drawbacks in this card. Is it an attempt to stand out against similar sound cards and to attract attention? Solutions like VST plugins or DirectX effects are providing excellent results for professional and even ultra high end professional effects, based on native CPU processing.

Many users ask us to test not only aim quality of linear output, but that of the linear input as well. Yet, Singapore based Creative Labs has – with some of their E-MU brand products – achieved high dynamic range values on the input section – it is up to the customer if he prefers a good frequency response or a slightly higher dynamic range, just depending on his specific needs.

Note the ideally steady frequency response graph and the ideally clear noise spectrum in the bit mode. Nevertheless, Juli demonstrates professional sound quality in comparison with the reference. If you want to know the exact ETD, Pls contact us before you bid.

Normal air mail, weeks, No tracking. The difference is not so large but it still makes itself felt.

You must contact us before returning any product. If you increase the time between the auditions to a couple of minutes, you won’t be able to distinguish the cards even with the same music fragment.

How you do evaluate DSP features and the quality of converters in these sound cards taking into account their prices? Besides, EMU is very difficult to find on our shelves and this situation has not changed for half a year already. One way or another, I clearly hear the difference, for example at Alex Reece, album “So Far” hits: We will make sure give you a satisfactory answer.

Juli is free from these drawbacks, it sounds true and clear.
