On the other hand, many use the computer as a lossless and/or hi-res digital music source that they'll feed into their main system via optical output. I could have used a better video card, too, but music is the most important thing I do on my PC.Īnd yes, anyone who calls themselves an audiophile would never compare PC audio to the sound they get on their primary home system.
#Realtek alc1150 vs asus xonar upgrade
When I finally got enough spare change saved up, the first upgrade I did was buying the Essence. The 1150 was "good enough" for me for a year, but my knew old PCI sound card was better. I happen to have been born with good ears for music reproduction. I'm no audiophile, I just go by what I hear (and some hardware specs). But it's not mostly mental if your ears can hear the difference, and the difference gives you pleasure. I am not one of those people who can do that.Ī sound card is like any other component like a video card or CPU, if you feel like you want it or need it, go for it.Ĭlick to expand.Most people can't tell the difference. There are audiophiles who claim they blindly notice the difference between $700 and $1000+ headphones. 'Audiophiles' is just another word for enthusiast, and much like 4k gamers wanting to play everything with max settings, it is a very expensive hobby and they will always be chasing the dragon. Nothing was wrong with them, I just absolutely hated their sound signature. ://A couple of years ago I decided to buy a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones that users on Head-Fi raved about, and when I go them and tried them out, it ended up being one of my most disappointing purchases I ever made. ALC 1150 is simply a CODEC that is affected by what chipset it is being paired with.
However, ALC 1150 if implemented correctly with chipset isolation and amplifier, will most likely satisfy 90%+ of users out there. The thing is what sounds great to one person, might sound average, or even bad to another person.
