Sudhian Media have thrown up their preview of Turtle Beach's all new Catalina and Riviera sound Cards
After nearly three years, Turtle Beach has finally announced two new cards dubbed the Catalina and Riviera. The Riviera is the low end, sitting below the Santa Cruz while the Catalina is a 24/96 KHz part that is priced above the Santa Cruz. Turtle Beach fans who haven?t upgraded to an Audigy 2 or Envy 24HT card should jump for joy and get out their credit cards right? This is where the fun begins and we further dive into Turtle Beach?s new cards?. The first card to be scrutinized is the low end Riviera. For $39.95 Turtle Beach claims you get a 5.1 channel sound card that can output 24bit Digital sound.
This leaves you wondering what DSP the Riviera uses. Aside from the VIA Envy line of audio solutions, there aren?t many others that support 24bit output. But further reading shows that the Riviera can only output 24 bit/48KHz across the Optical SPDIF output.
