I'm not 100% sure of this so take it with a grain of sand but I
believe that most DVD audio is 48K. (Which is why PC systems are
making the shift for entertainment reasons.) Anyway, if you have any
DVD audio, or even the sound track from a movie played through xine,
etc., then doing a comparison would be interesting. (To me anyway...)
:-)
Cheers,
Mark

Frank,
Good point. Thank you. Changing the sample-rate may do it. I fear it's
still gonna sound crappy even compared to my on-board nvidia sound. I'll
try it though.
So, if i were to get a higher-end sound card like an RME that might be
shielded enough to avoid the fan hums? I'm gonna get things as quiet
inside my case as possible, but i'll need *some* fans even if they are
large and slow.

Thank you. The would explain the harshness i am
hearing too. It actually
hurts. I have to turn the volume way down from where i usually listen,
and
i don't listen that loud anyway. I mean, granted i now it's not gonna
sound like a high-end product but this is ridiculous.
How were you listening to your music? Maybe you can still tune it a
bit by running the card fixed at 48kHz and play your music with a good
resampling soundfile player. I'd recommend mocp (Music On Console) for
this, it's using libsamplerate and you can configure the quality of
the resample algorithm. Or, if money allows, get a good sounding PCI
card. The M-Audio Audiophile is very good and well shielded, too, so
you won't hear the fans. On *bay it may be available cheap as well.
PCI cards tend to be cheaper for comparable quality than USB cards.
Ciao
