I'm not accepting nuttin, but unlike YOU, I don't make up my mind before I've even had a chance to listen to the product.DSC said:So you'll just accept the mindless PR drivel?
The only one that qualifies for a fanboi is you, with your mindless creative-hate. I try to keep an open mind about things, especially those I haven't yet experienced.Then you certainly qualify to be a mindless Creative fanboi that buys their crap everytime.
The issue isn't about COST, you mindless thread-pooper because creative knows just as well as your silly audiophile forums that a crystal is cheaper than millions of transistors, it's about the fact you need a common sample frequency for all sound channels to do proper digital effects processing on the datastream. So STFU with the STFU bullshit alright? Think things through first before you start laying on the hate.FYI, another clock crystal is way cheaper than to waste transistors on SRC portion. This has been echoed at the other forums like Head-fi, Hydrogenaudio etc. So stfu if you don't know anything.
Your comparison is irrelevant; neither of these cards have anything to do with this new chip.Superior? Yeah, so explain why the Chaintech AV-710 with a lesser 106dB DAC is praised for having better sound quality than a A2ZS with a top of the line 112dB Crystal multichannel DAC.
Lol dude, like I said, how is it supposed to process audio with datastreams of varying sample rate? That's what the resampler is there for. Think, man, THINK!If they didn't inflate the chip in the first place by wasting transistor budget on the SRC, you'd have think they could have done it for the effects processor, but obviously you don't think very far.
Maybe if you weren't so busy hating creative, you'd perhaps have a chance to try and understand the reasoning behind this piece of hardware. Tip for you: nobody here have time nor patience for mindless haters and threadcrappers like you, if all you care about is bashing creative for whatever reason, go back where you came from.
