Title: Amiga sound card quality tests?
Post by: Jose on July 14, 2004, 06:59:44 PM
Are there any good comparison tests like they do on Tomshardware for PC stuff?

I'd be interested in knowing the results

Prelude, Delfina, Repulse, AD516 etc...

Of course various aspects would be tested. I'd be more interested in recording and playback quality above all, as I'd like to do some metal recordings with couple of friends 8-)
I suppose the Amiga sound cards never passed the 16 bit barrier, at least in recording am I right?

I'd also be interested in knowing how do they compare with an Audigy2(the first models, I heard later ones have more noise?) in recording, and with other more musician pro PC cards. Of course, I guess it wouldn't make sense to compare them with rack like systems

 8-)

Hi

RepulseGold here, connected in a video production gear.

Very well integrated with the system, reliable and with an hi S/N ratio. (both analogic and S/P-DIF digital IN-OUT).

The only problem is the not-compatibility (AHI driver fault) with AudioEvolution3-4 in recording mode and it is no more produced.

Ciao

Sounds interesting, do you use the AMiga to do video stuff too? What video card do you have?

I'd still like to hear more from real tests with numbers though...

The repulse is 20 or 24 bit, isn't it? Or so I seem to recall.
