ShapeShifter Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 AOpen's tech page says some of their motherboards have a codec that provides for HQ 5.1 Channel Audio Effects.

Mallette Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Let's hope tomshardware.com reviews it soon. They get pretty thorough. I did a search and only came up with two sites in languages I couldn't even recognize. Went anyway hoping to at least be able to spot "24/96." No luck. If the specs are good, and it supports 24/96, and costs 500.00 or less, this may well be the path to a good quality CD player for the budget conscious. As a homebrew computer geek, it certainly has my attention. I do not have a Dolby Digital decoder, either (Soundblaster Live software does an adequate job of making Dolby ProLogic out of DVDs), so that would be an added benefit. Of course, that's a bunch of ifs. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Thanks for the corrected links and search results! Dave ------------------ David A. Mallett Average system component age: 30 years.

TheEAR Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 He he now you are talking a tube MOBO! Great stuff,its not like it will replace my Audio Research tube preamp anytime but still fun,I will get this board as soon as its out.Wonder if I can order a Audio Note "Silver" PSU to power the PC.And maybe upgrade the caps to Solen,a tube change may improve sound further. LOL With half a dozen Delta fans it should be very musical. Original to say the least TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
