Hey guys,
Looking at that other thread regarding dual soundcard setups has got me thinking... How much better is the Revo or Delta compared to my Audigy2 Platinum for music sound quality?
Yes, I've read all the posts saying that it is better in terms of music sound quality, but I was wondering if someone could elaborate on that a bit.
I'm prepared to drop some dough on another soundcard, but I really want to be sure that I will hear a significant difference in SQ so that I'm not throwing my money away.
One of my main complaints at the moment with my Audigy2 is that I distinctly hear a hissing/static when playing a song thru the headphone jack of the A2 LiveDrive. This only occurs when the headphone volume on the LiveDrive is at 100%. Basically, to get it to playback at a loud enough level, I hear hissing. Would getting a new source fix this?
Finally, are the m-audio cards (revo or delta) capable of playing as loudly as the A2 LiveDrive without an amp thru headphone out? Right now, I find that the sound is almost as loud as I would like it to be on the A2, so knowing whether or not my new card will need an amp RIGHT away would be an important thing to know.
Thanks.
