I just purchased a new laptop for school, its gorgeous and has an i5 with 6gb ram, and 64 bit windows7. My problem is that I will no longer be able to use my creative audigy zs notebook with optical out for my music. I was hoping that I would be able to continue using my compass, and headphones with it and would possibly get rid of my older computer, but now I am stuck holding onto it until a good (affordable and fidelity) solution presents itself. Any ideas? I liked the usability of the creative soundcard stuff, but my new computer does not have a expresscard slot either, otherwise I would have purchased the creative x-fi notebook.
I run the audio out of the audigy zs notebook with the optical connection in ASIO/bitperfect mode. I can hear an improvement with the 24/96 audio, and so I dont really want to downgrade my audio to 16bit usb audio. Im not really in a great financial state right now, and if necessary, I will wait until I graduate next year and get a job to find a viable solution. (it would allow my new, small computer to remain portable and untethered, i could use the usb plug if necessary)
Does anybody have any ~$150 (or less) solutions that will let me continue using my compass' optical input with 24/96 audio with this newer computer?
Thanks,
Andre
