Daniel, I didn't catch your initial message. Why do you want to do D/A. I would maintain digital all the way unless I've got some external analog gear that is very high quality. --- Anahata <anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Mar 18, 2004 at 06:49:03AM -0800, Mark > Knecht wrote: > > > > Over the top of all of these points, I think you > want to be pretty > > careful choosing your D/A.

Do you know what type of power is used in digital mixers? Is it variable filtered or constant? Or maybe it's a mixture with constant to the analog circuits and filtered for the digital. I've never noticed any electrical related noise in my computer but then I don't have any analog in that system so there probably wouldn't be any. Is this assumption consistent with your understanding of the problem? I don't know much about these issue but I'm curious because my system will need analog i/o added. In fact, I don't know if my terminology of filtered and constant power is correct. Probably not. ron > - an external DAC that will be electrically isolated > from the PC and > will have nice clean power but may have clock > jitter problems. > > > -- > Anahata > anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 01638 720444 > http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
