» ReviewFail Tom's take on DDL, which, allegedely "can easily replace the loss of hardware accelerated audio" shows the author has little understanding of what he is talking about. DDL and accelerated audio are two completely different things. The whole take on frequency response above 20kHz shows some lack of knowledge in acoustics. Sure it is complex knowldge but for a $200 "audiophile" card you would expect a competent reviewer. That's even more obvious in the context of that Logitech's speaker set famous for boomy bass - a nightmare for anyone aspiring to be perceived as an audiophile...
For that reason I admit I skipped the subjective listening part and doubt RMAA tests were run properly either. I happen to have the X-Fi card and am sure my ears would notice if frequency response had indeed such an adventurous shape.
I like the low health warning thru the soundtrack.
Btw. does anybody know how to list all 128 voices from the console? Apparently this patch introduces 128 voice support but I do not know command to look up all the sounds..
