I'm might not be the one to judge, but with the specs presented I'd say it's also better than PCI based soundcards. - Better price/performance - more I/O - better SnR than most PCI cards, all AD/DA is by definition external. Latency might be an issue, I don't know... Is there something we can do to try support this stuff? I don't recall the outcome of the last mLan/Firewire discussion. Are there some specs that are not available to us? /Robert
