Fubar II DAC

[souperman]

will a Fubar actually improve the sound quality of my setup in my sig (TBAAM)? i've read around that external dac's won't really improve the sound that much.

Without any direct comparison or guarantees that it isn't just placebo, I'd have to say the SoundBlaster Live! I'm using at the moment sounds much less lively that the EMU0404, so yeah the DAC should make an audible difference as long as the two are far apart enough in terms of quality.

^ can anyone verify that?

Well I have a sb Live! and now have onboard audio HD and I did notice a slight improvement when using foobar with 32-bit processing. Although the increace in SQ might be due to the increase resolution

fubar II >>>> tbaam? worth the 100$ upgrade?

help please?

To help clarify for the OP, I was just cruising by, and notice that Aris misunderstood, and seems to be talking about Fubar the program, and not Fubar II the Dac. One is software and the other is hardware, one plays tunes and the other is a DAC.

I can't offer any help on how the TBAAM is improved upon or not when compared to the Fubar II but I'm curious myself, so here's a thread bump.

i've decided that the fubar was not an improvement at all. it did not make ANY difference!

since your TBAAM is already good enough?
