Advice Sought on New Soundcard
Hi List. I'd like to buy a new soundcard with one feature in particular, I'd like it to have an optical input. I'd be interested in any opinions from the list on a good solid make and or model to look at. I'm not looking for a top of the range card to do a magnificent job, a good job will do! I'm thinking of spending no more than £50, Any and all thoughts or advice very gratefully received. Thank you. Darran
RE: Advice Sought on New Soundcard
One card I'm looking at that does have it is the Sewell Direct Sound Box pro. Now, I don't understand 50 pounds, but this here card is $67 U.S. I know the Soundblaster ones have what you want, but they can get pretty expensive. Oh yeah this Sound box pro does full 192 thousand KHZ 24 bit recording. Another advantage is that it's USB. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Darran Ross Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2015 6:33 AM To: PC Audio Subject: Advice Sought on New Soundcard Hi List.

Re: Advice Sought on New Soundcard
Hay speaking of this one, the M-Audio card you mean right? What happened to them? I saw on Sweet Water the Fasgt Track Pro 2 and it's no longer 96 KHZ capable. Only 46 KHZ. They are still 24 bit though. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 1, 2015, at 4:26 PM, ken kvreed...@comcast.net wrote: You might try looking at the fast track pro.

I don't know why they didn't upgrade it. That's all I can say about that. -Original Message- From: Hamit Campos Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2015 10:47 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Advice Sought on New Soundcard One card I'm looking at that does have it is the Sewell Direct Sound Box pro.

Re: Advice Sought on New Soundcard
Hi yes, it was. It's a shame they didn't keep up with technology. I had it running on a laptop and that was sufficient for me. -Original Message- From: hamitcampos Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2015 6:42 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Advice Sought on New Soundcard Hay speaking of this one, the M-Audio card you mean right?

RE: Advice Sought on New Soundcard
Though I'll agree they should have upgraded it. Why not instead of dropping go full steam ahead? Full 192 KHZ 24 bit. Or hell even 32 bit. Now the always heard of but atleast I've never actually seen or heard of 64 bit would be just too super epic! -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of ken Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2015 10:31 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Advice Sought on New Soundcard Hi yes, it was.

RE: Advice Sought on New Soundcard
Ah okay. Yeah, that's very odd, why go down from 96 to 48. All though, 48 KHZ 24 bit must not be so shabby. I mean that's what all 7.1 Blu-Ray disks are. So thinking about it some more, I guess it doesn't suck as much as I perhaps made it sound like at first. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of ken Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2015 10:31 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Advice Sought on New Soundcard Hi yes, it was.

Re: Advice Sought on New Soundcard
what about 384khz 24 bit if we want to go that far? On 2/1/2015 11:12 PM, Hamit Campos wrote: Though I'll agree they should have upgraded it. Why not instead of dropping go full steam ahead?
