I've been real happy with my EgoSys Waveterminal 2496.  Not sure they still make 'em, might have been superseded by a newer model.  At any rate, works well for me.

FWIW, I've also heard good things about the Audiophile 2496.

I personally won't use any other sound "card" than Mark of the Unicorn's stuff. Their A/D, D/A chips are awesome. The down side is they only come rack mountable, so there isn't any hiding the fact that you own one because it isn't just a card that fits inside your computer.

I own the 2408mkII, which won't do 96 kHz sampling only 44.1 or 48 KHz (for those rare 32 kHz tapes that I stumble across, I have to go analog in). A newer version will do 24/96.
