It's better than a Soundblaster. It's not going to be up there with, you know, a regular dac or good CD player.
M Audio Audiophile 192, bang or bust?
I'm wondering here if the M Audio Audiophile 192 PC sound card is worth the $180.00 being asked for it at Sam Ash Music, and elsewhere?
Or should I just stick with USB out of the PC to the DAC I use BC D3 which supports only 16/44.1K.
I am thinking I could try going straight from the sound card into my preamp, or config it to 24/96 out and send taht via coaxil to the DAC... thereby improving on the limitations of the BC D3's USB interface.
Thoughts here will be most helpful. Especially those from M Audio 192 card owners.
BTW... I'm not dissatisfied with the present setup, just curious if I can improve upon it.
Thanks very much.
