Is there really a difference in sound between the Virus TI's analog outs and usb outs?
For those that think so can you please post audio examples to prove your point? Thanks!

"Oh look. It''s THIS thread again."

The main difference will probably be between the converters you use. Just try and see for yourself.

I guess it's because Access makes unclear statements about some things that make people suspicious what might be hidden. Even if the sound is great people expect some numbers they think are a must nowadays - but are very probably not there...

I use the Virus Ti 2 Desktop with a RME Fireface 800, and if i use the analog out's it sound's so much brighter and i mean it sounds like its the VIRUS is one STEROIEDS.

But i guess it doesn’t matter what way you do it since, when you do your finale mix and get the project mastered every channel will sound bright.

So once again its all down to personal preference.

it's not rumors my friend

because A/D converter in virus analog output use 192khz
so when you record the sound as 192khz the sound much clear than lower freq
but ray is right in the final mix you have to back 44.1 standard quality and it's depends on your reference mix..
