Computer coax digital spdif output.. USB?... Sampling rate?? - Page 2

dqswim · 14th November 2003, 02:04 AM

Hopefully I am good to go for the moment. appreciate the help...

I went with the Aopen cobra Deluxe cmi8738 chipset, dual coax and toslink spdif input for $28. shipped from newegg

of course I will also keep my soldering iron running by making a small interface for the pcm2902 and use it just to test usb/digital output (portable too).... also considering upgrading the input voltage

the m-audio Revolution and Audiophile 24/96 were hard to pass up.. maybe with time and more money they will come

cheers

the digital spdif output worked as i expected and souded reasonable, hell the cards is only $25 or something like that, i have to admit that I haven't used it as a source in a while in favor of using an ipod (if only there was a digital output on the ipod that I could use) i couldn't tell you about jitter or anything, but a usable $25 spdif is nice

best of luck

Dave:

Can you give us some idea at this point as to how
the Cobra 850D sounds conpaired to your Sound
Blaster? Also, do you know if the Cobra supports
the ASIO or kernel streaming that is necessary for
a good SPDIF output?

Many Thanks!
