aomahana,
Thanks for the reply! You're right. The Mykerinos cards, don't have an AtoD on board. I use a benchmark Dac1 to monitor the Pyramix native.
What intrigues me is what reps and users are telling me. That the software is NOT the same, but thousands more must be invested in TDM cards to get the full sonic advantage of Pyramix.
This came as a surprise to me as the retailers and website make no mention of any compromise in sonic quality (if there is any). After purchasing software i was told that I could use PMX native in the manner the website described, however it was never meant to do it. Again, a little suspicious.
I can see needing additional CPU power for DSD, but for simple PCM at low sample rates? I'm anxiously awaiting Merging to get the native up to speed with it's competition.
Just curious, do you have both? Can you hear a difference?
Best Regards,
Don
