Re: How do you access coax spdif?-How Good?

Frank25:

What mode are you running the SPDIF output in?

I am using Audio Creation Mode, ASIO mixer, set to "bit matched". Slider level = 75% (0db) and Master volume level = 100%. Output plugin is Otachan ASIO for Winamp.

Sounds no worse or better than my other "cheapy" SPDIF solutions. In fact, I find it sounds even better than my M-Audio Revolution 7.1 SPDIF output, which unfortunately does NOT have ASIO support.

Oh yeah - "bit matched" mode disables all effects except for EAX. You need to disable this effect manually even in ASIO/bit matched mode.

The biggest problem with the X-Fi is learning how to shut everything off! ;)

Cheers,
Presto
