Good morning everyone.
So I have been struggling for ten years to get proper audio from my computer to record and listen. I went to the extent to make my windows 7 computer silent and managed it so I'm never buying a new computer. Then in 2017 I lost hope finding a good DAC-ADC interface, I stopped trying and I went back to what was the lesser evil : My motherboard's integrated audio from 2012. The short story is that there is always some crap whatever the DAC-ADC I tried, and apparently it's the same for everyone that hasn't enough money to buy expensive stuff whenever they want. Anything I tried had either electronic noise, driver issues that is always blamed on the computer, the usb, whatever, sнitty drivers that don't adapt at all and blame it on your OS or your settings, bsod, pop & crack sounds, audio that stops. I'm not saying that Microsoft isn't to blame, everyone knows it's a sнitty company, but still the manufacturers should either adapt better, either tell the people "our interface is meant to work with this precise OS this precise OS revision, this precise hardware and nothing else. Therefore avoiding the permanent update scamming scheme of the computer industry that makes our lives impossible and any investment absolutely worthless.
So I'm just asking : Has anything good come out lately? A DAC-ADC witch works GOOD no questions asked? Or should I wait 10 years with the hope they stop trying to sell the same crap to peasants such as me who can't afford the shady "buy regularly and be glad even if it's crap" scheme?
