I currently have a Perpetual Technologies DAC which I understand "upsamples" to 96khz. Whatever is happening, I like the sound of it.
Long story short, I'm also considering getting a sound card such as the EMU 0404. The technical specs say that it has sample rates of 4.1 up to 192khz. However, this is followed by the comment "No sample rate conversion is performed". Does this mean that the card doesn't upsample? If not, what does it mean?
My second question is, if I get this card, do I need to install all the drivers and software that come with it, or can I just use Vista's own drivers? I'll simply be using it for unadulterated 2 channel out and maybe the digital out too. I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible!
Thanks
