I bought this card, just out of curiosity, there is no much info on the internet.
What catched my attention, was the 18 bit dac used in this card, wich from my limited knowledge it's not very common.
Does anyone have the instalation disks for this card?
It says it's pnp , but what about DOS?
Hope anyone can share some info about this 😀
Looks very similar to Acer/Aopen S23A

Indeed it does, maybe the eeprom contents dictates what it is.
Will put full images to compare :
NUSOUND:
S23A:
There still are a few diferences.
Both look like generic Crystal cards to me, very common in the budget market in the Mid-to-Late 1990's, often found in machines made by companies like Tiny.
Are there any other 18bit dac soundcards?
Yeah, the CS4236 out of my Tiny branded Pentium has one according to the enclosed manual. It's Pine branded... Pine sold PCChips motherboards with different labels stuck on... Apparently, they are behind XFX (Which would explain why I have an MSI instead).
Can't say I've noticed any difference, given the sources are 8- or 16-Bit and the Crystal IC can only output 16-Bit digital signals as per the datasheet.
Don't know which chip your card has. They usually had good SBPro compatibility though, even demos fell for it, it's a very good clone to be honest, the TSR isn't too heavy either.
this one has a cs4331 DAC wich is 18bit with 94db SNR and it has a cs9233 GM/GS DSP that outputs to the cs4331. It has a 16bit adress decoding.

So it's an 18bit audio card I think.
