Yoadie yo ho !!!
Based on a message from Gi to ,
G> Zorro 2 can easily achieve 48Khz 16-bit stereo, the Zorro 2 limitations
G> refer to using the DSP for mixing the channels, Zorro 2 isn't quite upto
G> that.
Actually, to be more precise, there is not enough SRAM for buffors on the card to take more than 8 channels through, and the Zorro transfer speed is too small for anything more than 16 channels, and the processor is too heavily overloaded with this kind of work transferring more than 8 channels over Zorro-II. Petsoff tried it and the results were showing this is indeed the case :(
G> A3000 is a 32-bit Amiga, it has Z3 slots, CPU slot (same as A4000), it
G> can run OS 3.1. A4000 is largely based on the A3000. the 3000 is better
G> made and is of a better quality IMHO
I would tend to agree completely having both of these machines! It also looks extremely cool :)
G> currently used for processing audio streams. An mpeg audio player using
G> the DSP is currently being written.
Exactly, I can't wait :) MPEG-3 with 16-bit high quality and no processor overload at all :))) I am moving my CD collections to MP3 on CDR-s ;))))
G> Aura used a 12-bit chip and was a cheapo device. The A/D D/A convertor on
G> the Delfina is the same as one the AD516 and Toccata.
.. and this is one of the highest quality codecs on the sound card market, from what I heard, of better quality than PC SB AWE and definitely the Gravis cards which should be called noise generators ;).
