I don't particularly. The article does, however, have a page full of measurements taken that illustrate that the PSX is not on par with a high end CD player.Never trust ANYTHING an audiophile says.
Audiophiles like the early model PSXs because the DAC is a separate chip. Plenty of them are adding/modding plugs on the 1000 and 5000 series models. Later models have the DAC incorporated into another chip.This keeps coming up, audiophiles are fooled by the extra jacks putting out the bad info.
Well that could be a good thing then. So since the GC games will be VC and the Wii is a souped up Gamecube, hopefully it will just be able to run off the Wii chips and still be 100% backwards compatible so that the only thing keeping GC games off of VC would be licensing issues as there shouldn't be a need to write/customize an emulator for each GC game... hopefully.ZeroAX wrote:Since the PS3 wasn't powerful enough to emulator the PS2 I doubt the Wii U will be able to emulate the gamecube....then again it will be backwards compatible with the wii, so same thing?
Well, the other thing is that specific DAC chip was supposedly the same as one that was used in some really nice sound systems. Of course, that doesn't mean it's used the same way in the PS1.isiolia wrote:I don't particularly.

Most aren't doing digital audio mods AFAIK, so much as directly wiring the DAC to the RCA outs. Again, most of the fuss is due to that particular chip. There's probably little left un-tampered with in the setup though. I linked to it already, but diy audio's thread on the subject is currently around 260 pages. Got people adding optical out, some trying to do optical in, changing up power, putting the whole mess in custom enclosures...Jamisonia wrote:I would assume the one with a separate DAC chip is easier to Digital Audio mod then.

Reminds me of when Nintendo removed the component out on the Gamecube late in its life. Now whenever we buy a used Wii, we have to make sure it has Gamecube controller ports.BoringSupreez wrote:That new GCN-less Wii is coming to the US this November. And it's not going to cost any less. Boooo....
At least they didn't do this until late in the Wii's lifespan. There won't be nearly as many GCN-less Wii's outs there as the regular ones. I doubt that the Wii is going to be around for more than another year or so.Inazuma wrote:Reminds me of when Nintendo removed the component out on the Gamecube late in its life.
