Hey guys, I have an AWE32 CT2760 and AWE32 CT3900.
They both sound pretty great to me and i love em. But i can't decide on which to keep.

Here is a picture of them: download/file.php?id=15229

CT3900 has newer chips : CT1745A-S '94 , CT1748-SBP '95 , CT1971-Q
But it has 4.13 DSP chip.

I'd keep the 3900. Newer (1703) codec chip = cleaner output

Thats my opinion as well.
Are there any other differences in the chips?

Not that I know of, but perhaps someone else with deeper knowledge of these can chime in. Both cards are desirable since they are non-PNP. Do you mind if I ask why you need to get rid of one? Really none of my business so feel free to shut me up - just curious!

I think the other difference would be the CD interfaces on these cards. I think the CT2760 is essentially a Multi-CD (MCD) card with Sony, Mitsumi and Panasonic interfaces whereas the CT3900 has the Panasonic & IDE interfaces. If that matters to you....

I don't mind, but I am embarrassed by why I have to sell it and how it all happened 🤣

Totally get it my friend! I'm sure it will go to a good home regardless. 😀

Ive decided to keep CT3900 because of newer chips (Though i loved the laser engraved EMU8000 writing on CT2760, so sexy uunf)
