Arny,
Back in '97, I bought my first CD burner, a Mitsumi 2x unit. I was dubbing
my archive of DAT, rare vinyl, and other audio sources to CD, and I wasn't
happy with the line inputs on my soundcard.
I couldn't afford a Turtle Beach or other high end multichannel card after
dropping $300 on the Mitsumi Drive. From your benchmarks and testimonials
on the internet, I chose an Ensoniq Audio PCI card - and I was quite pleased
with the results - excellent bang for the buck.
These days I use my Yamaha AW16g for anything I want dubbed to CD - and stay
in the digital realm whenever possible.
As far as my PC goes, I'm using the built in sound on my ABIT motherboard.
It is fine for gaming, casual music listening, and web chat, but I wouldn't
trust it for anything near the high end.
I love my AW16g, but I was thinking about making my PC an audio workstation
again. I was wondering if you still benchmark audio gear for the PC. If
not, I'm sure you could point me in the right direction.
