Well, I'm questioning this from theory rather than experience, as I haven't
actually tried the Delta 1010 I've got with Linux. The 66 I had worked
wonderfully with it, though - to the point that I seriously question any
major sound issues (I didn't take any scopes to the stuff, but my Tannoys
and my ears were very pleased.). At any rate, I'd love some clarification o=

this:
My understanding of the manual is that the Deemphasis is simply a status
bit, used to tell devices further down the spdif chain that signal has had
preemphasis applied, and should be decoded by them. I don't think the
M-Audio cards actually apply any pre-emphasis themselves - they simply offe=
r
the ability to mark a stream as encoded.
What are you running your spdif into? Perhaps you're hearing a difference i=

its decoding/converting quality based on its reaction to different emphasis
flags in the streams rather than any changes occuring within the box/m-audi=
o
card.

What values are available?
How does it sound different?
Looking forward to clarification. Thanks for bringing this up!
