Software options for Tuning

It's on that page within the specs section

-Swappable DIP type OPAMP controlled preamp out circuit (4pcs output control OPAMP IC with DIY socket

-5Vrms (Differential DAC output with gain adjustment / approximately full swing from +/- 8V dual power supply)

-Proper OPAMP control circuit (large capacity 1A +8V, -8V, dual power supply circuit) for high quality audio quality, prevent audio distortion at high volume level.

I don't think it would have swappable clock since that is usually soldered on the board.

another good read if you want to mod your digital for tube sound.

now if we could replace the opamp on the SC with a tube pre... that would be cool. i have seen it done somewhere.. ill keep searching.

Nice!

Just an FYI:

Frequency Allocator does not do Time alignment. It does one big generic delay on the output from what I have read.

Frequency Affirmer (Not available yet, but sometime in Dec/Jan) will do room correction / time alignment from what I have read over.

Also after more extensive reading, this video codec called "ffdshow" will do video delay somehow so that video will not be out of sync when using Frequency Allocator.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/

I ran into a little extra money so I think I can finally try the full version of Frequency Allocator and a new soundcard.

ffdshow is the same codec that StreetDeck uses I believe.

Good to know that it is capable of this.

I'll be looking into Frequency Affirmer as well...thanks for the heads up!

Updated on the op, thanks for the info

Is this on their forum or somewhere else? I've seen the Arbitrator, which apparently does Time Correction. Perhaps this is what you are referring to?

I was reading where the lite version of allocator doesn't include the arbitrator information....so I'm guessing that if you buy the full version of allocator, you get the arbitrator with it?

no swappable clock, but might be able to use an outboard clock none-the-less....

I've recieved my BurrBrown opamps, now I'm ordering new Female RCA ends!

Damn you go all out.

I am a cheap bastard. But I ordered this the other day:

http://www.audiotrak.co.uk/home_thea...gy71hifi.shtml

I didn't even realize until later it too has user replaceable opamps at half the cost of the Auzentech. I only get 2.5V output but that is sufficient for now. I still have to wait and see if the M10000 is going to be able to handle Allocator lite. I have a very bad feeling it just won't cut it so I am already looking into a new motherboard/processor. I think I might upgrade to a Pentium M since they are cheap. Now just to find a Mobo.

wow red. i let this thread go for a while. i can't wait to read about your results. as far as a mic is concerned. film industry uses senhiesers a lot. you should maybe look into those. If you were in the area i could get my hands on one for you to use... but you're not, so tough!

I'm looking here: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite...?transid=cat30 and I'm not seeing any mics for reference tuning, perhaps they are called something different?

I know that my Sennheiser head phones are amazing.
