Hi Everybody,
Assuming I'm willing to spend $50.00 to $100.00 on a sound card,
can anyone tell me what makes one sound card better then another ?
I have been considering a Monster, Sound Blaster, or maybe a Turtle Beach
but how do I choose a sound card by the specs?
What is considered good sample rate or signal to noise ratio ?
What the f... is all this bit crap?
I mean when one looks at a S.C. box, they will see a bit for everything...
High Performance 32 bit PCI Subsystem control logic
16-bit stereo full-duplex Codec with fixed 48K sampling rate
16-bit full-duplex for concurrent recording and playback
16-bit ISA slot
On-board 24-bit Motorola 56301 DSP
24-bit 96kHz balanced inputs and outputs
24-bit 128x oversampling digital-to-analog converters
Any advice would be appreciated.
