I
haven't actually seen the link coz it doesn't work for me for some reason, but I
agree...Why on earth would you want to combine all that stuff
together??
I
spend a lot of time choosing components that will remove any audio path as far
away from the Base unit as possible (i.e. external soundcard etc..).. Why would
I want to build more stuff directly onto the motherboard?
You
might as well make a motherboard with everything built in... Including Monitor
and Mackie Mixing desk!!! lol!!
But
seriously, I'm interested.. What's the arguement for it?
cheers,
Nick
I find this to suspect still. Doesn't feel right.
I think a better solution is to get a quality D/A Converter from there run it
through a proper tubed amplifier into some quality speakers. This will yeild
the results you are looking for. Integration into your motherboard is to
risque, especially if the chipset they used starts to generate problems within
your apps or peripheral devices.

right here!
From what I can gather, the tube is a part of a built in
preamp on the motherboard. There is an integrated sound card, but the
preamp has inputs, so you can run your own sound card or anything else you
want through the tube (woot!). According to their specs, the tube has
a MTBF (mean time between failure) of 4000-5000 hours, so easy replacement
is a must. I can't find anything on the actual model of tube they use,
but I'd guess they would want to use off the shelf components, rather than
trying to make their own. Check out some more specs at http://english.aopen.com.tw/products/mb/ax4b-533tube.htm.
Other tasty features include support for running your audio out the front of
the computer breakout box style, and a built-in S/PDIF interface. I
think I just might have to look at upgrading my system now.

Well I have like billions of questions on this
now. Firstly how is this
going to help audiophiles? Is it that it has
an Integrated Sound card and
that the sound card works with Tube
Technology? What happens when the tube
(and it will) gives out? Easily
changed like on tubed amps? Is it a standard
tube? (KT88 or similar).
Let us the tube heads know.
