Hi ppl,
I hav a pair of KRK Rokit 6 G2 studio monitors....
I hav a macbook pro 2011, 13 inches...
I've recently setup a rig with the following config...
Intel i7 3770K Processor,
Asus Maximus V Gene Motherboard,
Corsair Vengence 16 GB DDR3 RAM....
I've connnected my macbook pro to the KRK rokits using ProfiGold RCA Cables.... I wz really impressed with the sound from KRKs.... very impressed....
For some time, I've been reading great reviews abt Xonar essence STX sound card.... So, I decided to go for one and I finally got one yesterday.... I wz very excited.... I connected the sound card to my PC and connected my rokits to the RCA outputs from the sound card.... I wz very eagerly waiting to notice any improvement in the audio quality over that of my macbook pro.....
But, I could hardly notice any difference in sound quality........ ofcourse the xonar stx wz easily able to achieve higher volume levels than my macbook pro onboard audio..... but, apart from that there wz hardly any noticable improvement in the audio quality.... I've even tried uninstalling the asus official drivers and installing the uni xonar drivers... but still not a noticable improvement...... may be very very very very barely......
I'm very very disappointed and at the same time confused.....
My speakers are really good ones - krk rokit 6 g2's
My system is free from any signal interference.... I ensured that..
I use a very high quality Profigold RCA cables for connections.....
Xonar essence STX has really got rave reviews.....
I don't know hw essence STX has got rave reviews....... In the web, many hv recommended that xonar essence stx be paired with really good speakers to notice the difference... But, I 'm sure many would agree that KRK rokits are very good speakers/monitors....
Pls help.... any others havin the same pbm.... or any solutions...... I'm just confused.....
