Does anyone have input regarding the onboard sound quality of the Asus x99 Deluxe II as compared to the Yamaha wxc-50? I'm trying to determine which I should let to the d/a converting.
Here is info on the onboard sound.....
Realtek® ALC1150 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC featuring Crystal Sound 3
– High quality 112 dB SNR stereo playback output (Line-out at rear) and 104 dB SNR recording input (Line-in)
"Audio on the X99-Deluxe II utilizes a Realtek ALC1150 codec along with a Texas Instruments R45801 amplifier and an assortment of Nichicon Gold series electrolytic audio capacitors. The motherboard also has a physical divider for each of the audio channels and to separate the audio plane from the rest of the motherboard."
