Day 240, Techno junk

Featuring the AK4528 converter chip the Audiophile 24/96 was a reasonable priced bit of sound-acquiring technical gubbins.

The AK4528 appears identical to the AK4524 but with an 8dB improvement in chip-level dynamic range.  We can only assume that that is a good thing based on no evidence whatsoever (my ears cannot help given that they are as old as me and thus not fresh.)  There was all sorts of that stuff about the chips and the dB figures in the music production press at the time, I'm pretty sure it goes straight over the head of most people.

But this I/O device is of no use to me, and hasn't been for quite a while as it was long since consigned to one of the boxes of 'stuff' after an upgrade.  So it'll be going in the bin, sorry, it'll be going to the nearest WEEE recycling service.

It would be irresponsible to do anything other than recycle it.  Never mind the fact that it still works and is perfectly usable, and that the return on investment has long since been passed for me, there's the hidden environmental cost of producing all of the components on the card.

Once it is unplugged...

The rest is silence.
