Soundcards
« on: December 10, 2003, 04:04:21 AM »
I'm looking into soundcards, open to opinions on cards that are bit-perfect and can be run either PCI or USB. 24 bit isn't that important because I will be using a DAT, same for 96 SR.

Some cards I have noticed from minimal searching:

m-audio Audiophile 2496, Audiophile USB and Delta Dio 2496, Lucid PCI24, Ego Systems Audioterminal 010, Ego Systems Waveterminal U24.

I'm just going to be transferring DATs, and I don't see HD recorder transfers happening within a year.  Any opinions and experiences are welcome.  I just want something that will get the job done right.

back in the day before i was taping and had to worry about transfers and whatnot i bought one of these --> http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=&product=150

Well, ends up i used it a little for analog md transfers, but i never bought a dat, now i either record with the njb3 or a laptop, so bit accuracy during transfers isn't that big of a deal, since i'm not transferring anything.  If i had to do it all over again, i wouldn't buy one, but since i have it, why bother selling.

Anyone have any thoughts on this card for just playback?

yeah, i was rather excited when i got it only later found out that it was pretty much crap.  i do like the breakout box on the front tho that i can plug my firewire and headphones into.  I don't use it for much of anything else.  it does great (imo) in those two perspectives.

yeah, I don't know if I'd keep mine plugged in though.  I don't want issues with running 2 cards

agree...i am using the m-audio audiophile 2496 delta pci card...drivers are solid, interface is easy to understand, and little to mess up.

s/pdif i/o and analog rca i/o as well as midi i/o...use it for all my dat transfers, and have the analog i/o hooked up to my behringer mixer to record band rehersals

highly recommended...and probably one of the cheaper cards out there at only $150 new via musician's friend/guitar center, etc...

i was actually thinking of getting the usb audiophile 2496 ($199 new) for remote stuff, and for eas in switching from one computer to another...

have a grateful day

I've had a Delta Dio 2496 for a few months. I've experience NO problems. Installation was a snap, no s/w conflicts, works like a champ. And in WinXP no less. Wish I could say the same about my video card/driver!
