[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 104505, member: 14776"] Will you use this card for gaming? Will you use this card only for digital out stereo/surroud? Will you use this card for analog outs (stereo/multichannel)? I guess that the recommodation depends on the questions above. Audiophiles that are to connect their PC to an analog amplifier might want something like this: [url]http://www.lynxstudio.com/lynxtwo.html[/url] [img]http://www.lynxstudio.com/images/LynxTWO-A.jpg[/img] 200kHz sample rate / 100kHz analog bandwidth (Supported with all drivers) Four 24-bit balanced analog inputs and outputs ("A" Model) Two 24-bit balanced analog inputs and six 24-bit balanced analog outputs ("B" Model) Six 24-bit balanced analog inputs and two 24-bit balanced analog outputs ("C" Model) +4dBu or -10dBV line levels selectable per channel pair 24-bit AES3 or S/PDIF I/O with full status and subcode support Sample rate conversion on digital input Non-audio digital I/O support for Dolby Digital® and HDCD 32-channel / 32-bit digital mixer with 16 sub outputs Multiple dither algorithms per channel SMPTE time code reader and generator with MTC conversion Composite video genlock Word, 256 Word, 13.5MHz or 27MHz clock sync Extremely low-jitter tunable sample clock generator Dedicated clock frequency diagnostic hardware Multiple-board audio data routing and sync Two LStream™ ports support 8 additional I/O channels each Compatible with LStream modules for ADAT and AES/EBU standards Zero-wait state, 16-channel, scatter-gather DMA engine Windows NT/2000/XP Drivers Macintosh ASIO 2.0 Drivers Macintosh Core Audio Drivers LynxTWO-A Suggested US List Price $1095 LynxTWO-B Suggested US List Price $995 LynxTWO-C Suggested US List Price $1195 For spdif-only, I would just use the internal mobo audio or some cheap no-name card capable of bit-perfect playback. I use an old m-audio audiophile 24/96 PCI card. I am waiting for HDMI-based soundcards or even better, combined audio/graphics cards with internally synchronised clocks so that I can feed my surround-amp 8 channels of lossless hirez PCM. -k [/QUOTE]
