MSI Z170A TOMAHAWK (LGA1151) Motherboard Review

Audio Performance


The motherboard’s audio chipset is capable of producing good sound quality, especially at low bit-rates. As you can see, the motherboard scores highly during 16 Bit 44KHz testing although there is some room for improvement. Clearly, it’s not the best solution solution we’ve encountered, but it should be competent enough to please the average end-user.

16 Bit, 44KHz (DVD Quality)

16 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)

24 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)

DPC Audio Latency Analyser

In terms of latency, the MSI Z170A TOMAHAWK reports a decent figure and isn’t far away from another motherboard featuring the same codec.
