Does it sound better or worse, if i use the DAC with USB?<br />Is the ALC Audio Codec even influencing the SPDIF quality or not?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580799320382353049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-48516923911189456232018-05-22T08:12:54.524-07:002018-05-22T08:12:54.524-07:00Dear

As was said, it's good to see it's better than older implementations, but really... most high-end motherboards feature ALC1220. This one supposedly performs much better!

Yea...Thanks for the further results on the ALC892.<br /><br />Yeah, the chip can handle 44/48/88/96/176/192 without resampling as per the results above and verified with Dtmer's results. The main limitation is the noise floor rather than the ability to handle sampling and playback of the ultrasonic material.Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-90131357906950352842018-05-07T08:03:36.901-07:002018-05-07T08:03:36.901-07:00Most PC interface are natively clocked at 48kHz, y...Most PC interface are natively clocked at 48kHz, you answered my question, the quality of upsampling is adequate.Blogue à parthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651305500712464065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-46984803360619578282018-05-07T06:07:01.730-07:002018-05-07T06:07:01.730-07:00My ALC892 can show some measurable improvement whe...My ALC892 can show some measurable improvement when resample from 44.1k to 48 and 96k using SoX.<br />https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,114871.0.html<br /><br />But honestly if people really care about such a tiny improvement they should just spend a bit and buy an inexpensive DAC like the SMSL iDEA which Archimago also reviewed.<br /><br />My motherboard also has an optical output and my Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-42087815301377063952018-05-07T03:39:03.185-07:002018-05-07T03:39:03.185-07:00Hi Archimago, could you confirm if the Realtek ALC...Hi Archimago, could you confirm if the Realtek ALC892 is clocked at 48kHz ?
