Good to know, but not relevant in our case, we are exploring the D1. >> (not entirely clear, it's expensive and IMHO the sound quality isnt >> worth the money) > > The Xonar D1/DX has almost the same capabilities as the D2/D2X (in Linux) > and is more reasonably priced. It's definitely reasonable when compared to the D2, but it's still relatively expensive. > What are your requirements? Low price, good power output on *all* channels, good fidelity. robust linux multichannel support. not a big list, eh?. :-) onboard stuff tends to only provide amplification on the front channels and expects that the user will provide a separate amplifier for rear and surround. Sound *cards* tend to have onboard amps for all the channels because they have the pcb real-estate to spare for that sort of thing. > > Best regards, > Clemens >
