I use an M-Audio Transit USB. 24 bit 96kHz. They say 100dB SNR, but it's nearer 90dB in reality. Has optical in and out, and analogue in and out on 3.5mm jacks. (Analogue and digital inputs share an aperture, so cannot be used simultaneously.) The device uses a non-standard DFU system for uploading its firmware, however there is a free open-source tool for doing this (madfuload), and at least Ubuntu has udev rules to automatically do this on insertion. Works a treat both ALSA straight, and through various extra layers of guff, like PulseAudio. Have successfully captured and played back 24 bit 96kHz and 24 bit 88.2kHz too, as well as the more normal combinations. Highly recommended. -- Rob Kendrick, Support Team Lead Simtec Electronics Telephone: +44 (0)1772 978013 Avondale Drive, Tarleton Fax: +44 (0)1772 816426 Preston, Lancs, PR4 6AX, UK http://www.simtec.co.uk/ mailto:rjek@xxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
