When it comes to rhythm tanks, we have to talk about Mediatek, this Mediatek is not MediaTek, but Taiwan Ruili Technology, which was originally a sound card manufacturer in Taiwan.
The brand of Ruili is more interesting, it is not only a pure manufacturer, but also has its own brand Mediatek sound card, and also acts as an agent for the sales of other brands of sound cards, taking the route of integrating technology, industry and trade. Ruili's OEM business is doing very well, German tank, ASUS, EGOSYS, Zhongyin and other brands have been Ruili's customers, in 2005, Ruili also established a production plant in Suzhou.
Ruili has not tried to promote its own brand sound card, but due to the long-term operation of low-end products, the image is not good, and finally failed to do it, TempoTec is a new brand created in this context.
TempoTec's Chinese name rhythm tank, everyone will easily associate with German tanks, because as mentioned before, German tanks are only responsible for blueprint development, design and manufacturing are entrusted to Ruili agents, so the product styles of the two are very similar, so rhythm tanks were initially regarded as a sub-brand of German tanks. But in fact, the rhythm tank and the German tank have no legal relevance, it is a new brand created by the German tank general agent, nothing more.
In terms of product style, the rhythm tank and the state of music have some similarities, the rhythm tank is also very daring to adopt extreme design on the product, the variation of the year IDSD is a portable decoding headphone amplifier that can be hard decoded within 500 yuan, so it is quite popular with some users.
With the gradual decline of the DIY industry, there are not many sound card manufacturers left, even if there are remaining manufacturers, the number of sound card products is very small, and the same is true for rhythm tanks, and there are only a few products on sale, such as Serenade iDSD, Serenade DA, etc., all of which are HIFI sound cards with main sound quality.
The Serenade iDSD and Serenade DA are both portable external sound cards with a vertical design, much like a built-in antenna router. Both can be used with computers and mobile devices, iDSD positioning is slightly higher, sampling accuracy is 32bit/192kHZ, the signal-to-noise ratio can reach 120db, and the frequency response range is also larger, while DA can only reach 24bit/192kHZ and 113db signal-to-noise ratio, but you can connect mobile devices with Bluetooth, both have their own advantages, the price is 699/599 yuan, the difference is not too big, you can buy according to actual needs.
