You just have to get out a 16 bit 44,1khz signal, just like on a cd. There is no use for you to have a 24/96 signal for monitoring and wondering all the time if it would be the same on the CD... And I'm wondering if it possible to get a 24/96 signal out with the RME... If you wanna get digital out of the RME, you've got nothing to do, just plug the little cable converter on the sub-d connector ont the board, and play music, the monitoring stream is copy on the digital out by the board. I don't know about the delta 44... Bye Fran?ois > >Many thanks, > >John Yahoo! Mail : votre e-mail personnel et gratuit qui vous suit partout ! Cr?ez votre Yahoo!
