Topic: Anyone use an ESI Waveterminal U24?

[mniven]

Is anyone familiar with this USB soundcard?

I'm a transfering newbie and I've borrowed a ESI Waveterminal U24 from a friend to try it out.

When transferring from DAT to WAV, can I use the U24's real-time sample rate converter to go from 48>44.1? Or am I better off doing the resampling with a software program such as SoundForge?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm still feeling my way through all this

Actually, some research on Dat Heads has informed me that this card doesn't do bit perfect transfer, so please disregard my question.

I own the U2A, the precursor to the U24. It was tested by Jamie Lutch and confirmed as bit-perfect back then, but I'm not sure if he's done the U24...

Thanks for the info. I think I'll test it out myself and see if I can confirm whether it is or not.
