Way select a sound card

Sound card serves as a digital signal converter into analog voice signals or vice versa. The quality of the sound card is much influenced by a chip DAC (Digital to Analog Conventer) as a companion chip main chip sound card. Dac chip serves to convert the digital signal into analogue signal. In the performance can be explained this chip to process the output from the main controller / chipsound the form of digital data into analog data.

To note the sound card is:

1. Type of chip / DSP

2. DAC

3. Playback quality: 24bit/192khz an upscale quality.

4. Recording: 24bit/96khz for best results.

5. Frequency response

6. SRN 106 Ratio - 108dB

7. Hardware accleration to reduce processor load

8. Support playback 7.1, ASIO 2.0, EAX 2/3/4/5.0 for games, THX for movies, PCM / MLP (DVD).

9. Connections are available in the form of coaxial or optical.

Layman's ears might be a little difficult to get a different sound output souncard onboard soundcard ecek2 with a quality addon, but the true music lovers or owners of home entertainment is very sensitive to any frequency response generated by the soundcard.

1. With the help of the software can be known respone frequency range of sound cards issued by the premises of good results is the result of the flat.

2. There is no dominant frequency range of between one another

3. Natural sounding voice reads every musical instrument, and without recourse

4. Characteristics of good if the frequency range of ¾ to treble a bit wet, not shrill like a tin like a lost soul, not too sharp.

5. So it is with bass frequencies menedang rough but tender and can not separate the frequency of the bass strings and bass drums clearly.
