Well it's finally time to get a 24 bit soundcard. I want something that will offer 24/192 as well as 5.1 surround. I would like for it to have a bit perfect digi in, but I will probably actually never use that functionality. It should also go well with a future headphone/amp combination that I will eventually get for mastering my recordings (once I get that far).
How is the EcoSys Waveterminal 192L?

Any other suggestions? I would rather not spend more than $150.
-
that 192L would have been my suggestion.
I am not up to speed on "whats what" in the world of sound cards, but I'd be all over this myself. Iv'e eye'd it for a year...still haven't purchased it yet though.

My EGOSYS waveterminal 192X gets here tomorrow I will let you know what I think

Cool thanks 8)

Just curious. Does this card have digi coax i/o?

Frank-
I have had nothing but good experiences with my Delta DiO 24/96. Doesn't do 192k, but c'mon... Don't remember the cost buy I remember it being in that price range when I got it from the other Frank.

You need an add-on card I believe.
-
Yes standalone the 192x has optical out only. the addon card gives you COAX I/O and Optical I/O as well as midi stuff.
The card is waiting for me when I get home so I will post my experience later. Add-on card arrives tomorrow.

Will be much appreciated :) +T

well both cards arrived yesterday. I can not be happier with my purhase/ The install went EXACTLY as stated in the Manual.
Well so far I can't believe the subtle detaild that has been brought to life with the 24Bit playback. I am running the card ANALOG out 1/4" to RCA to my Marantz SR880. I am using the on board DAC and it is (to my eras) stellar. The soundstage immediately grew outside of my limited Klipsch bookshelves.
I would reccomend this card to anyone. There are less expensive cards that give you similar features but the 24/192 sold me and with the Add on card I have every I/O that I could want.
-
Cool, thanks for reporting back. Any chance you'll do some bit tests on the digital ins?
-
if you don't need coax, I have the terratec ewx 24/96. optical in out. doug from oade confirmed that it's bit-perfect.
-
If you do a serach on this board if i remember correctly there are several posts as the the Bit Perfect transfers of this card. It is why I got it.
But anyway the interface is very simple but the card has the ability to lock on to the digital clock of the external device. DAT(master) -> Wavterminal 192x (slave) did my first DAT transfer last night via the optical and it synched right up

Hmmm, and now I'm looking at the 192M (http://egosys.net/1-pro/eng/product/wt192m/wt192m.html) which has a lot more versatility with the break-out box for $25 more :hmmm:.
