OMG I found an *active* GUS fork of ao486:

https://github.com/xolod79/ao486_MiSTer/tree/GUS

SB16 is a CPU hog with worst imaginable sound.

486 SX-33 + 16 MiB + GUS is ideal :-) GUS is a legend, love it.

@jarkko Gravis UltraSound is amazing. I didn't experience it as a kid but as an adult I've been quite impressed.

They are about the same era but:

GUS: legendary sound
SB16: legendary bad sound

@neal It was like the only sound card from that era of which Amiga's 8bit DAC's were not superior.

Fast-forward, when it comes to audio, Windows up to this day has absolutely nothing offer. GUS is the only bright spot in the history of running MS operating systems :-)

By now Pipewire is the superior choice for audio in my opinion of any operating I'm aware of. CoreAudio was amazing when it first came out but compared to the current Pipewire it looks and is a relic.

That's I why I targer my Clarity DAW exactly for Linux + Pipewire. It's all about technical superiority and I want to sacrifice 0% of it. Apple made the same choice with Logic Pro.
