plonk420 8/28/2011 2:31:39 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5line issues? under $50, get this! Pros: -perfect audio for its price bracket -louder (closer to line level) than most soundcards up to $40-50 -got rid of line noise Cons: -no pretentious DAC chipset or OpAmps -only 48kHz (but how many DVD-Audio discs do you have compared to CDs/FLACs/MP3s?) Other Thoughts: somehow, after 4-6 years of doing ok with either a Chaintech AV-710 (with sought-after Burr-Brown DACs in the front), followed by brief Onboard, then a Razer AC-1 (legendary CMI8788), i got some hum somewhere in the DAC chain that i just couldn't get rid of. so i got this while i was going to research others, and it's done the job marvelously. it's also closer to line-level outs than any other card under $50 i've tried. (compare a PS3 or--i assume--Xbox360 analog out to onboard or said pricebracket soundcard, and you won't even come close to a 1/3 the sound all the way up). so if you're experiencing analog out whine/hissing, get a long USB cable, some 1/8" to RCAs less than a foot (6" preferred) and this, and you should be good to go til we get more competition in the ~$50-60 range of USB DACs. (note: this is 16/48 ... however CDs are 16/44.1; also, of the few DVD-Audio discs i own, most are 24/48. and obv bit depth dithers infinitely more quickly and transparently than freq res 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.
