If you still use it, did you have the chance to compare it with other interfaces (again regarding the sound quality). If you swapped it for a newer interface, have you noticed any improvement regarding conversion? So I'd like to hear about your experience: Many people who had to replace it, due to driver problems, didn't notice any sonic improvement -others felt it was a step-down.Īnd I think that it's pretty weird that an old -and rather low budget- interface still competes with newer and pricier interfaces. (I choose RME due to its low RTL, the rock solid drivers and being future-proof).Īll these years I run into posts/reviews/opinions that praise the audio quality of the EMU. So I wonder if getting an RME will be an improvement regarding conversion. SCHEDA AUDIO PCIThe E-MU 1212M PCI Digital Audio System delivers everything you need to produce audio on a PC with professional results - 24-bit/192kHz. And, of course, if I want to go for Win10, I'll have to leave the EMU behind.
But from time to time, I'm thinking about upgrading for more I/O and hopefully for better RTL performance. 1E-MU 0404/1212M/1616M PCIe Digital Audio System Driver 2.30 Windows XP/Vista/7 32/64bit.
I have an EMU 1616m since 2007 and I think that, apart from the stock preamps that I don't use anymore, it stills serves me fine (Win7 64bit / Cubase 10). This goes for all -current and former- owners of EMU 1616m (or 1212m, 1820 etc).
