Howdy!

Looking for the best price (obviously) from a decent source (taking customer care etc. in consideration).

I'm looking to buy an Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 in the uk, but can't find any on ebay (international) or froogle.co.uk...

Now i only have PCI, so i can't purchase ProdigyLT (as it's pci-x?)?

And in addition to that (before i purchase it), does the regular Prodigy 7.1 support qsound?

Thanks for the help!

Hi

The Prodigy 7.1 LT, providing broad compatibility, supports not only a standard/desktop PC, but also a slim PC and a bare-bone PC by providing an additional Low-Profile mounting bracket. PCI-X (3.3V) slots are also supported.

To me this means LT ic std PCI card.

Yeah. Don't confuse PCI-X (an extension to PCI, little used outside the server market, can be compatible with PCI) with PCI-E, aka PCI Express, the new PCI standard which is completely electrically and physically incompatible.

Good news!

 

[sinetwo]

ah y es, i realised that earlier on today

I just confused pci-e with pci-x...

Anywho, is there ANY place to get this card? i can't find it anywhere, not even internationally! It's outrageous!

And, should i get this now or should i wait for the new audiotrak coming out..?

Prodigy 7.1 is maybe too old model, and therefore maybe hard to find nowadays.

7.1 LT : (even this needs to Call for Availability)

BTW: Aren't Audiotrak with ESI now? This may be the reason why some of the Audiotrak models are hard to find!!

It seems like the ProDigy 7.1 XT won't be sold in Europe, or so lini was told.

 

[sinetwo]

The actual card looks just so sweet... (the XT) but even so they should still sell the LT... I'll take a look at the page you just sent me...

Thanks!

I don't know about European sales but here is the reply I got last week from Audiotrak about the Prodigy XT.

Quote:

Dear Sir, We will start preparation of English version in February or March. Therefore, I guess, it will be available in US later than March. Best Regards, Yong-Shik Shin ESI Professional

 

[sinetwo]

Ah ok... I'm going to get the LT if i can find it anywhere... :\

 

[sinetwo]

ARGH! i cannot believe its this friggin hard to get an LT!

About European version:

Code:

[left]Dear Sir, Prodigy 7.1XT is not ready to provide to overseas market yet. It seems to be available a couple months later. Best Regards, Yong-Shik Shin ESI Professional[/left]

 

[sinetwo]

So what's the best alternative to the prodigy?

I need it for my alessandro MS-1s (music and movies), my 2.1 system, and for gaming.

The prodigy was perfect for me, since it had good sound and a headphone amp, and q-sound for gaming etc. But i'm screwed now... Any recommendations?

 

[Zorander]

I'm sure the M-Audio Revo 5.1 will satisfy you just as well. Their driver is definitely more 'solid'.
