Biostar 1997 mobo can confirm
umm what?
Instead of a $100 DAC
That's got a Texas instruments DAC in it
For like $3
And it's pretty good
Was probably in a beige plastic case.

I ask you, if you didn't go and learn all this stuff beforehand, would you be able to tell the difference?
Why not save the money and be blissfully naive?
You're not loosing out on anything by not being an audio nerd if the answer to the first question was no.
I posted this link too... clearly you didn't read.

lul, no. I'm not stupid.
OMG, you are seriously naive. How do you think any of this stuff works? Magic?
IT'S ALL ENGINEERING AND MATH.
the problem with dacs is that they take digital and convert it to analog. Anything that goes from digital to analog will be off no matter how good you model is its an estimation. also is there really a difference between digital sound and analog sound
do you even know how the math works? its all an estimate. also that link goes where?
lul, what? YES, one is positional amplitude data, the other is an electrical signal.
Yes... actually I do. What do you mean estimate? That's such a weird thing to say. It's like saying paintings are stupid because they are only an estimate of real-life.
Yes... numbers really do translate to real life. Did you even make it through highschool? Did you learn to count balls and divide a pie? All of our modern age of technology is built upon numbers, advanced math, and engineering.
and the difference sound wise between digital and analog is what exactly?
And in order to turn digital to analog you need a model. A model is an estimation not the real thing.
What are you talking about? Dare I ask what your education background is so I know what level to talk to you on?
questioning someones intelligence is going down a dark path, stop, now
do a truly blind test for yourself and tell me if you hear ANY LEGITIMATE difference
Not intelligence. Only education background.
I'm wondering if I can engage in a discussion on DPS and digital sampling. (which would be very difficult without a background in EE or CPE)
They want to know what digital audio is and am attempting to explain but I need to know where to start.
indeed it would be
that is above my head
