RightMark Audio Analyser (RMAA)
RMAA suite is designed for testing quality of analog and digital paths of any audio device. The results are obtained by playing and recording test signals passed through the tested audio path by means of frequency analysis algorithms. A more common mark is also provided for those unfamiliar with measured technical parameters. Available here. We run the RMAA test using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable connecting the line out to the line in to test the quality of the motherboard audio codec not any external audio devices. We run the complete playback and recording test at default settings and then get RMAA to interpret the results giving the below outputs. We sync the playback and recording audio devices to the same setting as the test for accurate results.
16 Bit, 44KHz (DVD Quality)
16 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)
24 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)
Some very good results here for the ALC892 codec. Consistently high quality in all results.
DPC Audio Latency Analyser
DPC is a Windows tool that analyses the capabilities of a computer system to handle real-time data streams properly. It may help to find the cause for interruptions in real-time audio and video streams, also known as drop-outs.
The ALC892 coded is comparable to the SupremeFX codec found on the Maximus VII Ranger; which has proven to be a great audio option.
send me this board i have the corsair white 760t case it would be a perfect match 🙂
Amazing board with rock solid WiFi up to 20 GBps even though they only state 13 and very easy to over clock your CPU. Ensure you have the latest Bios though especially with Windows 10 64 bit as the earlier versions had stability issues. One of the best boards I have owned.
