Sound Cards


Last night my doggo, a 72 lb all black Doberman destroyed the output jack on my old sound card by getting tangled in the cord ripping it out at an angle and detaching the jack from the PC board. The card I had was an Asus Xonar which I thought was a pretty good card, absolutely noise free, 196khz 32 bit, and the audio sounded ok.

But I could not get that card anymore so I replaced with a Creative Labs card, slightly faster DAC capable of 384khz, very slight hum with stereo at full gain and ears to the speaker while the other was noise free, BUT the resolution this card, incredible, percussion sounds so much more alive.

Listening to Timothy Leary's Legend of a Mind, that little secondary hi-hat, ticks are now so well defined and percussion in general sounds so much better. Every piece of music I put on so much more defined.
