As far as I could see, the card only has HDMI and SPDIF/optical inputs, so all the sound formats has to come from one of those inputs... which one?
Thanks! |
Not at all. S/PDIF standards are no where as high a quality as HDMI audio solutions. Some of the standards are high resolution lossless. This is the future of high res digital audio. Many of the HDMI solutions available now are meant more for GFX, and their audio standards are nothing more the S/PDIF standards in disguise.
The sound on the HDMI cards comes from the main card -either a Prelude or possibly a X-Meridian 7.1. They are sent through to this board for encoding to HDMI standards.
This card is used with another soundcard.... Hope that answer your questions.
