I have actually. I'm thinking that i could get *fantastic* quality out of a
RME MADI and that multichannel converter they have. However, the inputs and 64
channels ^o.0^ is overkill.
If i get a good pci card and are therefore doing the D/A conversion in the box
how much do i need to worry about electrical isolation and noise and all that?
Frankly i think we audiophiles can be full of it. I have a ultra quiet system
(scythe brand fans) and even using the on board sound, putting my ear right
against the tweeter (a micro-thin cylinder tweeter) and turning up the amp
and sound mixer to max i can't hear a *thing*. No fan noise, no hum.
Nothing.
Thanks folks.
