QUOTE(Cosef @ May 24 2014, 07:54 PM) Nope it isn't affected, that bass level is just for the subwoofer. since STX uses RCA and 6.3mm jack, I need to use converter right.. will that affect the sound quality?Asus Xonar Essence STX seems to be your choice. Because you need output and mic input for your Razer headset, and SPDIF out. That soundcard are known got very good quality and sound.  |

Hi guys.. not sure where to ask so i posted here..
Thinking of grabbing an asus xonar STX to pair with my edifier R8 2800.. Wanna ask, if i only play music from youtube, am I making full use of the sound card? or should I get FLAC or 320kpbs MP3 audio? When playing those HD lossless audio, do I need to change my audio playback samplerate /bitrate? I come across the term ASIO when browsing.. it seems asus xonar stx support this... asio helps to handle the changes of the sample rate or bitrate automatically? Or am I wrong here... and to use asio playback, i need to set foobar2000's playback to asio or something? thanks.. kinda confusing to me.. |

QUOTE(Cosef @ Jun 6 2014, 08:03 AM) No need to be afraid of making full use of the sound card, once you hook it on and install the latest driver you will get better audio all the time. thanks! yeah, noticed the functionality issue.. when using wasapi on foobar.. any tweaks that can improve the foobar's sound? hehePlaying lossless audio is a must because is full quality from cd, you should enjoy it to the fullest.  Using ASIO or WASAPI can squeeze a little more performance to your audio source, but can loose functionality because it only allows an audio source for playback like when you use foobar2000 you can't hear your youtube channel playing. Better sound card comes from the hardware design to achieve low distortion and higher signal-to-noise ratio, software normally took a small part of improvement. |

QUOTE(power911 @ Jun 6 2014, 05:14 PM) any tweaks is okay as long as you enjoy the music~ tweaking is changing the setting on foobar or installing components? hehe.. kinda confusing for a newbieeq is preferably avoided but with proper tweaking it's a good thing too avoid dynamic compressions (as well as volume normalizer) as I don't think you want gentle parts of a song to be loud  |
