Does this mean that the 1's and 0's of a bit perfect ASIO output, flowing from the X-fi's digital flexijack are actually being lost/corrupted absent these mods? I would love to be able to keep my X-fi in the system to reduce the load on my cpu (as compared to USB sound) but I'd hate to cash out for a 131 only to learn that the DAC is receiving a degraded digital signal from the X-fi. In that event, I would likely lean towards the 151, or maybe a Trends + 131 combo. Thanks for any comments any of you are able to offer. |

If I'd get the 151 these things will go to waste. If I'd get the 131 I could still use EAX etc, however I don't want the X-FI to be downgrading the Keces. To make things a little harder my X-FI recently started to crackle/pop. I'm 90% sure it is the X-FI since more people have this problem. If I'd use the digital out of my X-FI would it still crackle? |
