| nooo000b | Hey, random question - I just bought a new motherboard (Crosshair VI Hero). Is there any chance that the mobo has a higher quality DAC than my Scarlett 2i2? | 17:40 |
| nooo000b | My initial thought is.... no. But I'm not really sure since the Mobo is brand new and the DAC is a few years old | 17:41 |
| OvenWerks | nooo000b: not likely | 17:45 |
| OvenWerks | Assuming it is an HDA unit, the standard thing I have seen is minimum latency is jack set to 64/3... and the preamp will probably be just barely good enough to use for skype. | 17:46 |
| OvenWerks | nooo000b: Also, the internal audio ciruitry is surrounded by digital and powersupply noise, but the 2i2 is in it's own box. | 17:47 |
| OvenWerks | nooo000b: also, if I remember correctly, the 2i2 has balanced inputs and instrument inputs. both will be superiour to any internal HDA system | 17:49 |
| OvenWerks | the 2i2 will be 24bit 48k input, the HDA will likely be 20bit though the output may be 24bit. In general I have found the HDA output quality to be OK, but the input quality to be only slightly better than a cassete. Problems I have seen include different noise level from left to right, inline HW SRC that leaves one channel when recorded long than the other... etc. I have been able to get passable input audio with internal audio by setting boos | 17:55 |
| OvenWerks | Hmm, that last may have been cut off it is so long. Ask if you wsih me to split it | 17:56 |
| nooo000b | OvenWerks: Thanks for the detailed response! That's kind of what I figured, just wanted to make sure | 18:46 |
