master 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 the audigy series' not ideal cos they resample everything to 48khz (including 44.1khz audio cds) and their resampling algorithm's questionable at best. if you have to, use foobar2000's internal resampler to resample to 48khz before playing thru the audigy. Audigy 1 is resampling everything to 48kHz internally but not Audigy 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Else, it support all the way up to 192/24 for playback and 96/24 for recording. Click here for more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 This is not a plug for the soundcard I'm using, coincidently, some weeks back I was using my Beyer DT250 (250 ohm) on the output of my PC's SBLive soundcard & the output was very respectable & unless you really need ear splitting volume, it was able to perform without problems. I was not using any additional boost or eqs. just plugged directly into the headphone out. The music I was playing at the time was some .wav files of slow folk music (Chieftains). Trying it out on my Powerbook even as we speak with the same .wav files & it seems to be the same as my PC. It sounds surprisingly good too. Nice details in the music maybe the DT250 suits this application. I recall using the AKG K501 with a mere 140 ohms only able to achieve moderately loud volumes.
