Zorro or Clockport based audio questions.
« on: May 03, 2011, 04:29:27 PM »
I am debating an audio solution for my A3000. My main use would be to simply play MP3's and without CPU load or any audio quality problems. I am looking at either USB or Clockport solutions for this. Regarding clockport, I have seen a couple of items from Individual Computers. One is a smallish MP3 only type of decoding device, the other is the Delfina card.
 
What kind of experience have people had with these type of devices? I have read some other threads here and merely need a more modern opinion, or any comments.
 
My Amiga is not nearly as powerful as many I see people have. So I am concerned with CPU usage during MP3 playing on my low powered 3000.
(Currently running an Amiga Technologies A3640 rev3.1 accelerator 040-25mhz, standard 16/2MB ram configuration, xsurf ethernet, Subway USB, a GVP Spectrum RTG video card, and Elbox Fast ATA. So a fairly mundane machine. I have buster 7 currently installed. I have an 11 Buster but I think I need to pair it up with a newer SDMAC or something, I forget anymore and just know that what I need is on the rare and expensive side)
 
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to playing MP3's on my machine.

Pan1k, I was just looking at these mp3@64 units this morning. I'm glad to hear it works! So am I correct in thinking that this unit shows up as an audio device within AHI, and merely selecting it for use is all that is required? Also, was there ever a software change made that eliminated the delay issue encountered very initially in this product's life cycle? Thanks for your reply!
