As it does not have an SPDIF output, either... but I'm a DIY guy (with an EE degree...) and can add whatever output I need or even build a new dedicated DAC for the task myself, should I prefer not to modify my valuable and expensive commercial DAC. 8-) > If it does, you have a range of professional products available (and semipro > in for example the TerraTec EWS 88 D/MT coupled with a TerraTec ClockWork > module). interesting... BTW, what about a TerraTec PHASE 22 ? mmmh, it's not even in the Matrix... :-( > I know the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 and Audiophile 192 can sync the master > clock with their S/PDIF in and both are great cards, also analogue, and not > expensive. The 24/96 you'll even be able to locate 2nd hand by now for +/- > EUR 50 or so. Check eBay -- I see them starting at EUR 0,99 ;-) yep, I've heard of those ones, and like 'em. Though I may probably prefer TOSlink to avoid ground loops and noise transmission... But can they do what I need using ALSA? Perhaps I'm wrong but -if I remember correctly-, I've read somewhere that their support is still only partial, and one can't do what I need on Linux. Am I wrong? (doh, I hope so! :-) Another card I have seen in the "semi-pro" arena which seems to be almost perfect (both RCA and TOSlink I/O, support for up to 24/192, etc.) is the "ESI Juli@", http://www.esi-pro.com/viewProduct.php?pid=43 >From the ALSA matrix, it looks like it's based on the same chipset of the M-Audio 192. Would this be also suitable and worth the extra money? How well is it supported by ALSA? Other options?
