HT Omega - Claro Halo. Headphone amp built in.
I just came across this HT Omega sound card. I'm assuming it is pretty new as I have never heard of it. Apparently there is an onboard headphone amplifier which I found extremely intriguing. Here is some quick info..
Headphone output with TPA6120 AMP IC High Quality RCA connectors for Front output Swappable OPAMP for Front Output C-Media CMI8788/PCI-8Ch PCI chipset (8ch Audio Chipset with Dolby Digital Live real-time Content Encoder and dts CONNECT technology enabled PCI audio chipset) Full-duplex ultra high 2ch 24-bit/192DAC (AK4396) 24-bit/192kHz Stereo ADC (AK5385) Anyone have any idea how good the quality of the amp might be? This might be a great sound card for a lot of us here at OCN... Edit - $249 @ Newegg

I find that offensive!
|
All soundcards have amplifiers, or else the volume would be so low you couldn't hear anything. It's marketing.

there was actually a not very well known via chipset sound card that had an amp 'good for 600 ohms' built in. as the via chip has been on the outs for a few yrs now it didnt get much attention.
btw- a strong sound card (x-fi, audigy, some nicer cmedia cards) puts out as about as much power as a portable amp. an x-fi does for sure. keep that in mind b4 buying an a cmoy/go-vibe/ppav2 to 'complement' your x-fi. instead save up and get a nicer amp. |
