Which nforce2 boards have the top end soundstorm?
I know the A7N8X Deluxe does.

 

[Vette73]

Abit NF7-S does.

Epox 8RDA+

Except for Chaintech's boards, all nForce2 motherboards with an MCP-T South Bridge use the nForce2 DSP and Realtek ALC650 DAC. Though this DAC is crappy, you still can get very good sound by bypassing the DAC with SPDIF.

Remember not all MB have the SPDIF connector.

I believe Epox is one of those, but you can make your own, or buy it from epox.

The SPDIF connector is a requirement for Soundstorm certification.

But like Evan said, they all have the good sound!

alway thought realtek are capable of making decent product, (ether chips)
can someone/EVAN point me to where this DAC been tested and found wanting?

I read on the web that currently only three motherboards are soundstorm certified:
Abit NF7-S
Asus A7N8X
MSI (don't remember the model number)

The A7N8X Deluxe has been dropped from the list of Dolby certified Nvidia boards so it actually doesn't adhere to the criteria.

EDIT: I just read Adrian's post in his forums about it and there he says it's uncomfirmed but is awaiting Nvidias answer on it

Sounds to me like he jumped the gun a little because they weren't on the provided list so the plot thickens.

I'd rather have a line in than have it only rear out so I can use my tv card. to shuttle for that. I just have to now get a card that outputs via a cd-rom internal cable. The Prolink Pixel card will work but that means no divx and another tv card I have to buy
