Their new Montego A3D Xstream has 64‑voice wavetable synthesis (using 4Mb of your system RAM), 18‑bit converters, Aureal 3D positional sound, DOS game compatibility, a Waveblaster‑compatible daughterboard socket, and (at some point in the future) an optional S/PDIF interface.
Turtle Beach have been producing high‑quality soundcards for years. therefore, i would say that Dolby Digital Live encoding is definetly the way to go, if you have a receiver 5.1 or better.If you like playing the odd game, but still want quality audio when writing music, Martin Walker believes the Turtle Beach Montego could provide the best of both worlds.ĭespite the large number of professional soundcards appearing over the last year, there is still great demand for good, audio‑quality cards that remain compatible with DOS‑based games, and which don't break the bank. but anything really less than 24 bit (commerial audio cds are only 16 bit, along with most DVD-video discs), there isnt gonna be much of a real difference at all, analog or digital. complete analog interconnects and interfacing for 5.1 surround, while listening to DVD-Audio discs on my DVD-Audio player does sound different, and honestly better as ive found in 24/192 quality.
and although DDL is a compressed format, there is no noticable or audible loss in sound quality, over a strictly analog connection, other people may argue and try to point out otherwise, but i havent noticed anything but an improvement. I havent used the Riviera 5.1 myself, but i did purchase a Turtle Beach Montego DDL for $79 + tax a few months back to replace my Audigy 2 ZS, (the montego ddl uses the exact same chipset as the X-Mystique too) ive been very happy with the upgrade ever since, with it hooked up to my receiver via optical out, all the channels are independantly controlled, and you can use all your receivers normal effects with it, instead of only being matrixed surround via 2 channel PCM encoding (such as with dolby surround or dts: neo).
