Wow that is quite depressing THD noise figure on the ASRock Extreme6, I dug up some measurements on ALC889A, which my previous board had and it had like -76~78 dB(A) depending on settings used. Guess this explains the EMI too with the ASRock board. They have very good Dynamic Range (probably top-of-the-line onboard-wise without going to special "Sound Core3D" chips / Creative onboard solutions which seem to give an additional or so 3-5dB dynamic range. Seems like the ASRock implementation is rather shoddy, they only cared about getting some nice output figures but forgot about the noise....Originally Posted by cadaveca
Of course. You can check the HERO review for the HERO results, here's the EX6, although the review isn't live yet. Will be soon.:
