The main feature I'm looking for is the USB mass storage. I hate using proprietory software to transfer music over. I've used itunes, the creative software that came with a Zen micro, Sony SonicStage. All annoying in their own ways. Death to them all Plus it means I can add the ability...

Hi everyone I'm looking to get a new MP3 player. My MZ-RH10 portable Hi-MD unit is becoming a real pain for MP3 playback. My main requirement is I want something that supports windows USB mass storage device drivers, so I don't have to use any proprietory software to transfer music across...

The thing is they all sound fine to me. I'm no audiophile, but I'd like to get the best possible theoretical quality with the kit I've got. Having to re-rip records as the quality of the previous rip, is a pain. I guess using my minidisc as a DAC to my audigy, will still be far better...

Right so it's likely that my audigy 2 zs is afflicted by this problem. So it might not be as good as copying directly to CD. But it would be an improvement over going to my audigy soundcard using the analogue line in? How much of a difference does the sampling deficiency of my audigy...

Funny you should mention the pro-ject turntables. Mine is a budget pro-ject one - a debut 2 I think. In my amp manual the phono input on my amplifier is moving magnet. The ground wire is connected to the amp. The volume seems to sound fine with it connected to a normal amplifier input...

So I've just tried recording through my minidisc deck - basically using it as a DAC, then an optical cable from the back of there into the optical input of my Audigy 2 Video Editor Hitting record on my minidisc deck, lets me monitor the selected input without recording, and the sound comes...

Hi Geoff You might be on to something there - that might be the easier way, and would guarantee consistent sound quality at least. I too have a minidisc deck - I love the thing - it's an MDS JB980s from the NetMD days. Still waiting for Sony to release a selection of Hi-MD decks as...

That's awesome. I'm going to give that another go tonight. But as far as you guys can tell, there's nothing seriously wrong with my set-up that will result in low quality recordings?? Would you expect the recording quality to be better or worse than using my Sony RCD-W3 hifi cd recorder...

Thanks for that - I always wondered why you had negative decibels marked on the scales. What it sucks sound in?? :lol: Anyway... Quote: Originally Posted by labrat The best hook-up here would be to continue having your turntable connected to your amplifier, then connect one of...

Hi guys I have an Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor that I use for video editing, but apparently it's a fairly decent sound card in there as well. I want to start using my computer to record. Currently I get my vinyl and record it to my Sony CD recorder deck. Then rip the resulting CD-RW I know...

Hi guys For ages I used the 3.5mm minijack output on my shuttle box to go to an input on the back of my amplifier. It worked. But for various reasons I decided to go for a new soundcard. Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor Which I realise is primarily a video-editing box but apparently it...

Anyone have any other advice on this?? Thanks

Sounds good To be fair I don't really need the digital outputs and all the converting between sampling rates etc. But for something that will take an optical / coax digital input, and let me plug it into my hifi, then this will do! Could anyone recommend an adaptor to go from the XLR...

Ok I'm seriously thinking of getting this product. It just gives me loads of video capture options as well. I think I've got a solution... use the optical / digi coax out on the video editor box, connect it to a DAC, then connect it to my amp Anyone got any UK suppliers with a good range...
