Thread: alpine pxa-h700/701 distortion

i've decided on the echo gina because it is everything i need (i think) at a good price. it only has one spdif in and a set of analog inputs (they are xlr inputs but can be converted to unbalanced rca inputs)

the great thing about echo cards are they are rated at 5.75volts! this beats the alpine unit in that respect...but alpine has all the great tuning features.

concerning the sb live...do you run the kxdrivers? i noticed a huge difference with those installed and also noticed a huge difference when i got a linedriver/x-over (audiocontrol 24xs) even though i used it for a month or so and now it's sitting in my room.

some other cards to look into are the emu cards... they got great reviews. or the m-audio card. (i have the audiophile 192 also just sitting in my room...one day i'll be happy with my sound device :-)

i just won an echo gina on ebay. I'l report back wheni get it all hooked up.

please do!

glad to hear you got the distortion figured out!

Not to go completely off-topic, but what did you do to go digital? Your amp is still analog and you use a DAC, or do you have a true full digital setup?

when we talk about going digital we are just talking about the communication between the alpine unit and the computer. from there it goes analog to the amps

until that dual monitor makes it out in force!

Then it's digital the WHOLE way
