There is a review somewhere on the web comparing it to the top end Creative card and it compares favorably. The 7.1 is OK, but apparently the 5.1 got extra special ADC/DAC chips and it is audible. I hear the difference compared to other sound cards I have had (note that these haven't been professional quality like the 2496 or 1010 or the RME cards). I have used it at 192KHz without issues, and the internal processing is signed 32 bit so it should handle 24 bit without quality loss. For the price, I have been very pleased with this card. But I am not a professional musician and don't use it in a recording studio setting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
