Thanks, Paul. Guess my knowledge wasn't so wrong after all.
digital is digital, so the actual data being delivered
by S/PDIF or
ADAT or MADI or any other digital protocol/format will be identical.
Yes, that's what I thought. So, the digital coming out <expensive
card> should be identical to the digital from my MB. Unless there is
some other software layer (which I don't think there is), I don't see
how it can be different.
but the key to the sound is the digital->analog
conversion step and
then any degradation/noise/distortion that occurs in the analog domain
after that.
Oh, that just takes more expensive gear :) But, generally, out board
will be cleaner than a computer sound card??? Seriously, the more I
can do out side of the computer box, the more comfortable I am.
Thanks.
