I just picked up a motherboard with a bass guitar
attached to it. Now i can rock Reaktor and my Bass at the same time. Word to
spinal tap. j/k lol
Interesting idea that tube amp mobo combo.

Ahh... OK cool... Sounds like it might be pretty cool then..
?!?
I think this
falls more under the category of neat idea than anything else, especially
since it's targeted towards gamers instead of pro audio. It's for the
peeps who don't want to spend $500 on a tube amp, but would buy a $200
motherboard with one built in. I fall into that category until I'm no
longer a poor student, and I really wouldn't mind having the improved audio
quality for my mp3 listening and gaming. I like the integrated noise
cancelling on the motherboard too, one of my current problems is that I
suspect my current soundcard is picking up noise from inside the computer.

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.

Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: I got
your tube 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.
TRK.
