Yeah this card does have a spidif. The estra outputs don't bother me at all tho seing as I can always capture the track to audio and resend to my sample to my sample via scsi. Do you find you can acutally run plugins on your hardware in real tiem with little trouble? I have heard great things about the 10/10 but it doesn't have enough inouts and i'd have no use for the outputs. Thanks for the advice. HoChi
