Electrocutor has a point. However, the audibility of resampling can be debated, as it varies on the algorithm and devices used. Now this illustration can be wildly misleading, as even a very wild looking graph might not be audible to...

As mentioned above, it offers no audible benefit to go for a higher sample rate than that of regular CDs (44.1KHz). It's purely a marketing gimmick, people can't tell the difference between normal sample rates vs. 96KHz or 192KHz. The...

For gaming and the such I wouldn't consider Titan too special, but for GPGPU workloads it's quite sweet. NVIDIA nerfed the GPGPU performance of GTX600-series severely, and since Radeon cards only support the much less mature OpenCL...

Depends what you mean with IR, near-infrared photography is quite fun and rewarding but I've got no thermal imaging equipment to see actual infrared anywhere But I very much enjoy the thought of creating false colour images and messing...

Which is not relevant at all since the OP was going to buy a Creative Sound Blaster Z. But yes it would likely be a better choice, that or a proper headphone amplifier that won't run out of juice no matter what cans you use. According...

Creative Z is not a headphone amplifier, it's a sound card. Like just about any DAC/sound card, it does have a separate headphone output but has no proper amplification to mention. Upon quick googling people seem to complain about...

Depending on headphones, some might not get loud enough without a proper amplifier. Then again, some headphones that get loud enough but have a very varying impedance curve can suffer from an output with an impedance more than 1/8 of the...

In a case like this it comparing numbers is not good enough, the difference is insignificant as mentioned earlier.

Quote:Originally Posted by Tjj226 Angel The simple answer is it does. For every 3db of SNR, it makes a whole lot of difference, so something that has 124 SNR is going to be a whole lot better than the 116 SNR.Maybe in comparison to...
