Hi,
Well actually there are many factors to consider when bying a sound card, of
higher class.
In my opinion you should really try to get it away from the noisy and
electro magnetic pc itself, and out in the free air. smile
Any way a firewire, or a USB solution, where the data remains 100 % digital
until converted to an analog signal I think will produce the most clean
signal. At least you should not be concerned about noise from the harddisk,
or P S U with such a configuration. Also it's no bad thing at all to have a
self powered audio device. We're talking hifi here, not simple pc sound. :-)
Then the dificult part will be to find the best devices out there, and also
here, like with anything else, it's a matter of personal preference.
Some of the devices has a high power output, and others are not as
agressive, if you know what I mean.
Some are warmer then others, and others again are more clean and so on.
There are definately minor variations, but they're definately noticeable.
Best regards
Brian

Hi Tim.
This device sounds like something I'd be very much interested in.
I've been using the Soundblaster for several years to take the optic from
my computer to my Arcam AV. Not too bothered about recording at this
time, so an output device would seem to meet my needs.
Dio you know if this unit has any problems with VISTA?, or does it work
better on XP Home computers? Finally, do you know if it's available here
in Scotland?
I've been a lover of Creative for some years now but feel that they are
not longer interested. This is why I'm interested in other similar
devices.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Hi Bue,
I'm using a little device here called the UD10.1 audio converter from
Trends audio. It connects to your pc via usb, and has a variety of
outputs including both optical and coaxual s-pdif, XLR, and BNC. The
3.5mm headphone socket also doubles as a line output, and provides phono
out by means of a 3.5mm to RCA connector.
I have the ud-10.1 feeding a Beresford DAC, via the coax digital out,
which in turn connects to the amplifier with good quality rca
interconnects.
My music files are in lossless flac format, and I am very happy with the
results, with sound quality being as good as, and probably better than my
Arcam Alpha 9 cd player.
I should say that the ud-10.1 is solely an output device, so if you wish
to record, another method would have to be considered.
Best regards,
Tim.

Hi.
Can anyone help me?
I need a high-end hi-fi soundcard with an accessible configuration
interface
and that is compatible with Windows 7. It is going to sit in my hi-fi
pc, so
I don't really need surround sound or 64 channels.. All i really need is
stereo analogue and digital inputs and outputs and a card that will do
the
job and do it really well.
Best regards
Bue
