nsane Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 even adding back in to music the sparkle that is lost during MP3 or WMA compressioncorrection: with shitty mp3 compression...sorry had to say something, it's just suprising how stupid these guys are. they can make a bad ass microchip, but it's like they never heard the word LAME before :P like rockstar using 24KHz tracks in GTA:SA, that's HALF the frequency range of most CDs (really shitty), instead of using some VBRs...it's like WTF? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yea I sometimes think to myself whether or not they actually do some research before going ahead with production.Really looking forward to this soundcard though. By the time it gets released and a few months have passed, it will be the time I plan on building a new PC for myself. I was planning on getting the Audigy 4 but this card looks like it's going to kick the Audigy 4 in the ass. Hopefully, they'll sort out decent drivers this time, and stop bundling their crap in that no one wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
