ICHI from productionforums.com has pretty much said that E-MU will update their drivers so that 88.2 and 176.4kHz sampling rates will be possible. No specific dates are given, but he has never been wrong before. Now I can play my Telarc 1812 DVD-Audio

Also, for you resamplers out there, you will be able to resample redbook correctly as well. Everyone (especially Glassman

), rejoyce in this great news

Now all that's left is S/PDIF passthrough for surround sound, and this is THE perfect card.

Praise the lord!, i mean woo hoo, time to upgrade. More money will be spent now that e-mu is capable of doing more stuff.
roadtonowhere08, you makes me wanna cry smiling : /

 

[roadtonowhere08]

LOL, thanks, but don't thank me, thank ICHI on productionforums.com. I am just as happy as you

Newbie question.

So, does this mean that E-mu can now play all types of DVD-Audio directly? And, what about SACD; do they need different types of drivers?

The E-MU can only play un-protected (like classical and a tiny amount of others) DVD-A's at full resolution. It can play all the rest (rock and pop) at a reduced sample rate, because of the protection involved. I was making a big deal over the new sample rates because people can now play more un-protected DVD-A's with the 88.2 and 176.4kHz rates enabled. It also allows for proper upsampling of redbook CD's (regular CD's)

With regards to SACD's, I do not believe they will ever be able to be played on computers due to illegal paranoia. Add that to the fact that neither CD drives or DVD drives can read SACD's, and the chances are pretty much nothing of being able to play an SACD in your computer.

Got it. Now, the problem is that I don't know which DVD-Audio is copy-protected or not. Is there a way to tell?

That's great. I don't have lights for those sample rates on my 1820m box but thats no big deal though.

hmm, I haven't even think of the Audiodock's LED indicators.. yes that's pretty interesting, they haven't counted with these samplerates when designing the products, seems like me and a few others on productionforums were such pesky they actually decided to support the missing samplerates

my next goal: force E-MU to release more consumer oriented driver w/o those stupid DSP effects

Question - What is the purpose of different sampling rates of the source (files) are set? Like MP3's and Redbook are 44.1k right? What advantage would there be to playback 44.1k CD Audio asd 192k?

Found link to post: http://www.productionforums.com/emu/...Terms=176.4kHz

Glassman has been active in this one. Kudos for seeing it through.

Also kudos to EMU people for listening to their customers!

That is indeed cool that they listen to users

I'm most happy that >48khz WDM was added.

This is icing on the cake.

Now if only EMU people could influence the corporate culture of their Creative overlords...
