vinnie69 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi.I was wondering what you guy's or girl's think of this external sound card?Im in the process of setting up a system and would like some help.My source is my pc and i have a nad receiver for ampification.Its an older receiver with rca inputs only.I had a few people give me some advice of dac's.The thing is i don't want to spend much money so i can spend 100 to 150 on either a sound card or dac?Would the soundblaster live external card be worth considering or would you go with a cheaper dac?Thanks Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi vinnie69 - I suggest looking at the FireStone Audio Fubar II http://www.miniatureaudio.com/fubar2.html It's within your budget, can be moved to any computer easily and is very simple to use.

The Computer Audiophile Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Vinnie - You don't need an audio card and you don't even need your Realtek ac97. The USB DAC becomes your "soundcard." Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
