Main Setting

Sample Rate

The Sample rate determines the number of audio samples per second that the

Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) and S/PDIF digital interface will output. The

Xonar Xense audio card can support sample rates up to 192KHz (44.1K, 48K, 96K,

192KHz). Usually audio CDs and MP3 les are 44.1KHz; DVD-Video uses 48KHz;

DVD-Audio or other HD media may contain 96KHz or 192KHz high-denition audio

content. Select the corresponding sample rate for your playback sources to get the

best audio delity. Even if your setting differs from the audio source’s sample rate,

the Xonar Xense engine will do super high delity sample-rate-conversion with a

double oating-point lter, which can reduce total harmonic distortion (THD+N) by

-140dB.

Sample Rate

Select the sample rate that corresponds to (or exceeds that of) your playback

sources, for optimal audio delity. Your audio card supports sample rates up to

192KHz (44.1K, 48K, 96K, 192KHz). Typical values are:

• Audio CD, MP3, WMA, Wave les are 44.1KHz.

• The audio of DVD-Video is 48KHz.

• DVD-Audio or other HD media may contain 96KHz or 192KHz high-
