Hardware Review: Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 HiFi

Kapt-

After looking at the control panel pic you posted for the XT, I can see it's exactly the same for the Prodigy Hifi from what I can tell.

Looks very similar to the Prodgy 7.1LT as well. A few changes seem only cosmetic. Whats the highest ASIO latency that is available on your control panels? The prodigy 7.1LT is 1024.

yes it looks similar to prodigy 7.1 control panel too.

btw, the prodigy 7.1 hifi is different with the onkyo se-200 sound card. it has different layout and (a little?) different components

the prodigy 7.1 hifi is very very similar to Comrade 7.1 Hifi sound card. (the comrade is cheaper and using the original via driver i think.. so no ASIO support..?)

It's the same on both, 1024.

I'm thinking of upgrading my 7.1LT, but I wont bother if I'm not going to get a large gain from it.

I'm quite happy with the low profile and quite good sound offered by the LT at the moment.

if you look for low profile card, than you should try onkyo se-90pci or prodigy hd2.

i'm sure this card better than 7.1LT card..

I agree, however, I am still having issues with hibernation inside of Centrafuse. I would hope these other cards would have those bugs fixed, but its hard to know without someone confirming.

Also, Kapt, on the two cards you just listed, it looks like only the HD2 has a line input, and both are only 2 channels. I guess this means I wont be able to control my sub seperately? I tend to tone it down sometimes with certain music that I listen to.

I didn't forget about testing it for you in centrafuse. i tried but was running into problems with .net on my test computer. It's still on my list to test.

**sivart321** · 01-24-2007, 03:58 PM

No worries, I really had only hoped you'd do it... no expecations what so ever. I appreciate it though! Thanks!

yes its a stereo card

, but if you have a digital connection (coax/optical) you can use 5.1 channel
