Headphoneus Supremus
I saw this discussion thread on another board. I'm of the opinion that there should not be a difference but the OP is adamant there is. The rest of the board members (who are mostly PC enthusiasts) can't offer much on this.
So it got me thinking: What do head-fiers think?

I just changed desktop computers and went from an AMD KT 800 A 3200+ to an Intel P965 e6400. Although I did expect the new computer to be faster and I feel that the sound and image quality are noticably better. Although with the videocard I wonder if its the difference between PCI express and AGP because I went from a 1950 Pro AGP to a 7800 GT. However there is a noticable improvement in image quality. Who knows it could just be the videocard itself. There is one thing that I did not expect,an improvement in sound quality. Music for some reason sounds more detailed on the new MB/CPU combo, with the same same soundcard. (EMU-1212). However it could also be due to the power supply. Although my new power supply is rated for less power I feel that its actually somewhat beefier than the Antec 650 watt true power. This motherboard orginally wouldn’t even turn on with the Antec while I was able to get to turn on and not post with the other power supply, note that I finally figured out that Intel branded 965 MB’s do not like Crucial memory. Or is simply a CPU issue. Perhaps with more CPU power its simply easier for the computer to perform more at a higher level? Any thoughts? |
