Xone: DX Soundcard Noisefloor
Xone: DX Soundcard Noisefloor What is the noisefloor of the soundcard from the DX like (if it at all has one)? Because I have noticed a slight high frequency beep (like the kind when your ears ring) coming out of the headphone output and the master out when I turn them past, say, 8 or 9. Do other DX users on here experience the same, is this normal? Because I am kind of worried that this would be to noticable when connected to a large system. All help appreciated. | |
16.04.2012 | Thanks for your reply. I have also asked A&H about it and with the levels that far open it is most likely to induce some cross talk and thus the noisefloor th DX will be amplified. In this case I was likely to hear SPI Bus noise. The DX is very sweet indeed and I would be hard pressed to ever give it up Side View Finished.jpg |

The DX does have some punch volume wise....but its also walks a fine line in the headroom department as it can go from sounding incredibly pristine, to sounding overloaded in 2 seconds flat. Also its important to get your levels within Traktor (or Serato) in order....but you already know this im sure. I dont use the DX anymore....but I will never forget it, and sometimes miss it. IMO its soundcard is one of the best sounding I have ever heard and the drivers are rock solid. |
