Want to know the job of 20k1 Audio Processor on X-Fi Cards

Question

:Want to know the job of 20k Audio Processor on X-Fi Cards? <!-- [endif] -->
<p class="MsoNormal">X-Fi Processor claimed as world?s most powerful audio processor. i.e. 0,000 MIPS.
<p class="MsoNormal">This speed is more than the central processor.
<p class="MsoNormal">If most of X-Fi cards does not have decoding capabilities, for what this much of processing power is required for audio reproduction.
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this just a manufacturer?s advertisement to exaggerate about the product?
<p class="MsoNormal">AFAIK, CMSS-3D, 24-bit crystallizer does not require much processing power, if it were required then creative Mp3 players, Xtreme audio, Xtreme notebooks would not have the crystallizer feature.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">Coming to Games, Direct X engine also does not require more power because to just run the Direct X API on Direct X engine, this much power is not required.
<p class="MsoNormal">?

Answer 1

A. owh nice answer mister guru DWH well bout DAC well...i comparing recording 48 khz and 96khz 24 bit cannot hear much diffrent cuz the result sound same and exact like from sources but with sounforges i push the limit 92 khz the result diffrent ( but sometimes i suspicious this card have built in compresor inside it to minimize peak)
about compressor built in : ok its really confuse for a while cuz sometimes the sound not kick off but while reach -6 /-3 db the sound kickin somehow
comparing with HD realtek on my notebook asus x5rl
well i experimenting using reaper theres an option 64bit mix wave which i realize HD meaning 64 bit
if i turn off 64 bit option mix then i feel the sound not becoming HD in this soundblaster < thats i think which something getin losing
B. well about software FX? i think all soundcard have a mixer software features like reverbing / echo / equlizer builtin decoder console
i dont know is it FX console u talk bout it is the way optional mixer console whichs is already builtin inside the chipset or not? but if the FX u talkin bout is from console and as a trademark , i dont think thats a reall big surprise for me
becuz i dont wanna mess my project mixing song eq coloring when i recording or playbacking using those FX from console such put crystalize/3D room / reverbing
infact while i recording again / making mix tapes > there only fx i see on that console whois really effecting the recording result such echos, any EQ or Crystalize i dont think really effecting the recording from input DAC, the question is do i need this echos?
cuz while i using profesionnal software music programe for composing i can use mixer EQ event surround 5. option from the software rather than using from a console
but then with this 5. card output that i have in this usb card i think is good idea to make a project making surround sounding via 5. speaker / but is there any 5. speaker profesional compatibles with this card sinces i read some ppl complaining bout uncompabtibles speaker connecting to this card?
which i know if i buy some other profesional card event digidesign prootools card/ alesis or else i cant put 5. soundsystem speaker directyly from the card
but then is come back to the reallity do the disco club already use surround 5. or maybe 7. soundsystem or not
becuz i still know they just using a MONO soundsystem setup some of them LOL
C. owh ok i got it this card chipset cannot act like a micro controller or maybe some kinda intelegent CPU to makes VST worx cuz i know some other product already making some kinda CPU external as VST plugins generator so the CPU desktop / notebook dont have to working hard again to act as VST
thnx
PS: when fresh driver for this card goin be done, since till now i still use driver plug n play detect from windows xp to avoid bugs and BSOD, and then somehow i googles in internet i found PAX driver version but still cannot hold 96khz or 92 khz? via asio
can u make a lighter console? everytimes i put console somehow its pop up so heavy , page 2 pages so heavy
