EMAX I A/D D/A vs SP-1200

2007-09-11 by mikewolak

Hello,

I own an EMAX I and love the sound of the converters. I've read various posts on different 
forums claiming the converters and filters are the same as the EMU SP-1200. Does anyone 
know if there is any truth to this?

I don't have access to an SP-1200 but I would love to hear the difference between the same 
sound sampled on both machines at 28K ( or whatever the standard Sp-1200 sample rate is ) 
for an A/B comparrison. Can anyone help me with this ?

Thanks,

Mike Wolak

i read a post on another forum that compared the two.  since the emax
samples at 12-bit but uses 8-bit compression, whereas the sp1200 is
true 12-bit, he said that the difference between the two are very
subtle but are for the most part identical.

i'm trying to dig up that post but i can't find it.

i'll see if i can borrow my friend's sp1200 to do the comparison myself.
