If you want, you can try building a audio card DAC. They are the cheapest you can go, and there is some open source software that supports it.

i would say to anyone DO NOT BUY the itop

its not worth a £1

EVERYONE TRUST ME DO NOT BUY ISHOW

Things · Jul 16, 2008

Soooo back to the TOPIC....

Andy what is the issue with that ishow dac? you keep saying dont buy it, but never say why?

andy_con · Jul 16, 2008

well when playing beam shows or animations using itop/ishow the image is crap. out of shape, tails on animations etc...

when i first started out i didnt know anything that i now do and i thought i had scanner problems. when i got the fb3 i was shocked the difference was something else.

if you draw a circle in itop you get a funny shaped circle. if you use a proper dac you get a proper circle.

let me see what vids i have

here we go a show i made in itop.

if you look at 52 seconds in, that suppose to be a square

it just dont compair to all my other dacs

keeperx · Jul 16, 2008

well you get what you pay for..
thats perfect for the price range and a prety good deal for the hobyist..

For the price, you cant expect much and i will say that just having the computer controlled laser is cool and worth the 150 bucks.. There are better options on the horizon so i agree.. dont buy it..

andy_con · Jul 16, 2008

personally i dont think it is worth the money, but thats just me

thats cuz you have a white laser and pg3

andy_con · Jul 16, 2008

no thats cos ive used itop/ishow and know how crap it is

if it were me, i would rather keep the money and carrying on saving for something else

keeperx · Jul 16, 2008

i totaly agree with you .. but i like i hate you (ok its not hate its envy)
