Is it because laptops have reduced performance so they can run on batteries or tiny little power supplies and be portable, whereas desktops run on huge 1000 watts power supplies and may be engineered more towards performance.Īnd what do you think i should do with the elite pro, mod it, stick with the m-dac, or look for a modern day soundcard replacement The laptop was £1.5k and the desktop £600 so would have expected to have paid £1.5k and should have got a decent graphics card sound card motherboard built in etc but has not worked out anything like that Plugged the m-dac into my desktop and there was a massive improvement in sound quality why is this I like the eax effects on the elite pro and am using it in a home cinema pc not really into gaming just movies and music.Īnother problem which has been bugging me is i purchased an audiolab m-dac (£600) again because of internet reviews and word of mouth plugged it into my laptop (hp elitebook 8570p £1.5k) and it sounded kind of boring That's why i found it difficult to believe too much of what the shop was saying.
I used it for about an hour then took it out it has been sitting on a shelf for the past 5 years.
The xonar sounded coloured in comparison. I actually have that card purchased about 5 years ago because of good internet reviews and word of mouth but when i compared against the elite pro, elite pro was much much better less distortion more true and realistic sound
The guys at the shop said not to do any mods on the elite pro and buy the xonar d2x as a modern day replacement. There is nothing wrong with the card just read the hotrodding thread and it intrigued me people reporting big improvements am thinking about recapping the entire board and replacing opamps as recommended in the thread Hi Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
