Several users at Gearslutz are successfully using the 0404 USB with Win 10 x64 version 1809 (OS Build 17763.316) as recent as March 1, 2020. <br /><br />So it may still work with the latest 1909 build of Win 10 x64. <br /><br />https://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/HionHiFihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633314440489255119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-4330481472650769642019-07-15T04:44:57.123-07:002019-07-15T04:44:57.123-07:00Thanks for the answer!

One can assume that whatever device is able to measure well on the E-MU XLR (mic) input will have no problem driving any kind of line-level input, still it may be a demanding impedance. I will try to experiment a bit with the devices in my possession :)Interferencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770705282429364918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-50178064904977989312019-07-12T01:29:19.716-07:002019-07-12T01:29:19.716-07:00Hi Interference,

For most of the devices I checked out back when I was using the 0404USB, the output impedance of these were thankfully significantly lower. For example, my "reference" DAC for Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-53436059640068046732019-07-11T07:47:57.657-07:002019-07-11T07:47:57.657-07:00Not sure if anybody is still reading here. However...Not sure if anybody is still reading here. However I recently got an E-MU 0404USB which it seems it's still hard to beat without going up to the few hundreds $ range. I see you were using the XLR input with an RCA-to-XLR adapter. But to my understanding this way one gets the input mic that has 1.5kOhm impedance, isn't this too low to test line outputs?

Still works great for recording of course but the drivers are dated in the world of Windows 10 and if you switch between different hi-res samplerates, sometimes you'll run into crashes and driver instabilities...<br />Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-70078827559055760502017-11-17T07:33:17.599-08:002017-11-17T07:33:17.599-08:00Would you say, that E-MU 0404 USB is a good choice...Would you say, that E-MU 0404 USB is a good choice in 2017?<br />Given, that there're no issues with drivers (there are no on linux, btw)ediohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481809084446690580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-4123733654134303032013-04-07T19:12:10.517-07:002013-04-07T19:12:10.517-07:00Objectively in terms of sound quality, not much di...Objectively in terms of sound quality, not much difference :-)<br /><br />Reasons for upgrade:<br />1.

Analysing the numbers, both are pretty same (at least in result numbers). <br /><br />So, what makes Xonar better than EMU?<br /><br />Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534547698701375401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-46741226852943801082013-03-25T20:12:25.707-07:002013-03-25T20:12:25.707-07:00I actually have not tested this unit with VST, Ren...I actually have not tested this unit with VST, Renato.
