The cards specs look awesome and even more than I need, but I know how such things go... it's always in the details. Such a thundering rush of similar recommendations from all quarters certainly clears the way to my decision. I appreciate it.

In just the past week, I've spent alot of time perusing the following sites: <http://www.doepfer.de/> <http://www.rme-audio.com/> and now m-audio. Here's to German audio excellence! Those cold winters drive you indoors to tinker with great machines and perfect them, I guess. :) I grew up listening to German Electronica from the likes of Edgar Froese, Peter Baumann, and Kraftwerk, et al, before I had the sense of what a synthesiser was and such audio production methods in general. =MB= -- A focus on Quality.
