Hello
I am looking for a successor to my Sound Blaster Titanium HD card in which I replaced one pair of opamps for lme49720.
I want to still have the same sound on the new card as I have in current config below.
I use a PC connected via analog way Rca cables through this card to the Technics sc-eh780 tower.
After various tests, I have in windows sound settings set to 5.1 (all normal-range speakers), in the creative console settings: headphones, and the hifi technics speakers (on the tower only the super sound eq function is on, but without it, it's also fine) in real I have stereo columns of course, this config/settings gives me the best sound, also the best sense of space.
As I understand, after switching to the headphones option in drivers, the card probably uses only the pair of opamps that I put in: lme49720, without the second pair of opamps (there are 2 pairs in the card), can someone confirm if it is so? Important that it suits me best but why I am writing about this opamp. It is known they influence what kind of sound we get from audio.
The Audiotrak Prodigy Cube 2 card (and probably also the Prodigy Cube 1 Black?) are sold with lme49720 opamps inside, so I assume it is very well prepered for playing such sound, so should i expect music could have the same or very similiar kind of sound as with Titanium HD? But it is said Audiotrak Prodigy Cube 2 don't need drivers installed (how this works?) and in Titanium HD i had specific settings, also modes entertainment/games*/audio creation (*used "games" with headphones in settings usually, never "entertainment") and "heaphones" (instead "stereo", as i wrote before, 5.1 in windows)
It also has analog RCA outputs.
Looking at it as a whole, would it be the best option and successor of Titanium HD for the sound of my music, if I want it not to be worse and preferably the same because better / worse is something else for everyone? And what about games, this is external card, what about drivers/compatibility? Can it also be used to connect usb to linux tuners or any other devices? (because it is said to be without a driver needed, which makes me wonder how it works?)
Many people who had used Titanium HD says that these new Creative cards are clearly inferior to Titanium HD.
Thanks in advance for help.
