It looks like someone tried connecting the HDAV1.3 expansion card to the ST and it worked.

ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- Possibility of use H6 add-on card with Xonar ST

Yes, they are the same card.
The H6 DAC expansion card is the one that will be avialable for the ST. Currently it is avilable for the HDAV 1.3...
Two members around here did the same thing. Pull the H6 cards from their HDAV 1.3's and use them with the ST.

With that, I don't understand why they won't bundle it with the ST or make it available as an optional purchase...

 

[ROBSCIX]

They will be offering for seperate purchase down the road.

Oh I hadn't forgotten my Aussie diggers! LOL

I was wanting to find out more info before I posted there...

I still don't know RRP for both items & whether there's mush interest in getting the expansion board shipped too.
I'm pushing for that!

Im guessing its difficult to compare, but which is better for headphones that dont need amping?

The ST or this

Lite DAC-AH CAA Mod MKII

Music will be sourced from the computer.

thanks

The ST and STX are quite good for their price range and are had to compete with for this amount of money.
I cannot comment on that above unit as I have never heard it.

Is this talking about replacing a dual channel op-amp with two of its single channel counterpart & an adapter for better sound quality? If that's the case, can I replace all of them =o?

 

[ROBSCIX]

The LME49710HA modules are fairly wide so on this card they can only be used for the buffer.
There are ways to use the module for the I/V but you would have to use extension cables or a custom built adapter.

Yea I fiqure it would thats why I suggest them to do it.I wouldnt mind having a add-on card for the HDAV that has banana plugs running outta it. So i don't need to unplug my headphones or my speakers from my ampilfer when I decide to use one or the other.Unless theres on/off switches that let you do that already.

 

[ROBSCIX]

Yes, they will work fine as the H6 card meant for the ST is already on the market and shipped with the HDAV 1.3 Deluxe. The cards has RCA outputs not Banana jacks. Those are usually seen on amplifiers for connecting up speakers.

What do you guys think about starting a table with op-amp configurations? The table will include:

User/tester with the configuration or recommendation
Main uses (music genre, movies, games, etc.)
STX or ST
What op-amps used where
Description
Headphones/speakers used

Each configuration can be numbered so that users can comment on it or have it linked to a specific post. Do you guys have any ideas on how to better organize the table or information items to add to the table? Good idea??

Dude, that's an awesome idea, now for a site with a wiki....

Maybe Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase:Main Page - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase ?

 

[jalyst]

Good idea or maybe we could get the admins here to set one up?

I won't have my card for another 4-5wks ...

Even then I'm not sure I can convince the distributor to place orders for the h6
But if I can, I won't have it till 5-7wks from now!
