My New Year mission is to find a much better card than my modded 0404. I need something that has much more detail than the 0404. Sound card has higher priority, so lets avoid DAC at the moment.
The last time I posted a thread searching fot a soundcard was all about emu 1212m/1820m. some said that it's a sidestep from 0404, some said that it's an upgrade
which gave me some hard time deciding whether to get the card or not.
Now, is there a card that everybody can agree on that's > the 1212m? I did a search on the rme and there was some arguments about the rme not sounding as good as the 1212m but on one of the meets, many people agreed that the stock rme sounded as good as the modded emu1212.....so is that really true?
and how does it fair against dedicated cdp? and on what level is the card at?
I'm actually looking for something that has plenty of detail, a more refined sound than the 0404.....something that would squeeze more juice out of my phones
btw, <1k if possible....I'm pretty much broke now
