If you use the Cybersound driver package, do the calibration and then use a 14bit AHI mode the sound is not that bad at all. Not on par with a modern sound card of course, but acceptable. Well, give it a try yourself and judge it with your own ears! It's also allways fun to push the limits of the classic machines and see what can be done with clever coding

By the way, this will make any problem on the sound circuit caused by dead/leaking capacitors more visible, I've found the sound my A4000 sound circuitry was not doing very well with this because the A1200 was so much better and louder...

Sure, 3.9's CD player starts, stops, skips and fast forwards songs - but that's it as far as the data cable is concerned. AFAIK, Paula ain't up to the task and besides, that would mean massive amounts of D/A converting going on to which end, the audio would still sound like 8-bit mush. 14-bits *maybe* if you had all sorts of fancy D/A software and a very fast processor.
Of course I am Not sure

I could be mistaken I have not used my miggy in quite some time and very well could be talking a pile of stinking poo.
