Title: Best pci/pci-e sound card for spdif out...
Post by: fzman on March 10, 2010, 04:14:42 pm
What are you using, and what are you achieving - anybody done specific comparisons- I would be curious to know your results.  I'm using an asus stx, with outboard linear power supply, but am always looking to improve my sound.

thanks for responding!

If it has to be spdif, the best you can achieve is AES or BNC output and to slave the card to an external DAC with a clock of undoubt quality.
the best card is the RME AES32 (available also pci-express) and for dac, i leave that to you, but it must have wordclock out.
