I thought it was univerally known that (for music quality) the AV-710 was superior to the Audigy/Audigy 2/Audigy 2 ZS...
What exactly is the difference between the A2 and the A2 ZS? Is it a hardware or software difference? Or both? I recall reading that the ZS is better, but why?
And what is your response to those quotes? Is the AV-710's Wolfson DAC really inferior to that of the Audigy 2, or was that guy blowing smoke? Even if the Wolfson DAC is inferior, I would think the simple fact that the AV-710 doesn't do resampling would make its audio output superior. Don't all of the Audigy-series cards do resampling?

Actually the DAC on the Audigy 2 ZS is better than that of the Wolfson on the AV-710. |
Quote:
The Audigy and Audigy2 are DISTINCTLY different when it comes to the quality of music playback. As many of us pointed out, the A2 began incorporating very high quality DACs and well as other improvements. The AV-710 may be better than the original Audigy when it comes to overall music playback, but it is NOT superior to the A2. |
