Sorry, you ofcourse meant a completely external card here. Tired. Also
not very good though. Everything, and certainly latency, is much more
straightforward to control with a PCI(e) card, coupled with an extgernal
box with the analog parts.

By the way, in the rest of this message I was talking about a high-end
consumer card. I do not think there's much market for a consumer card
over EUR250. No market whatsoever over EUR500.


This chart was enlightening: http://www.evaluationengineering.com/archive/articles/0801pcbased2.gif

If its true then 1000B-Tx or 10K ethernet will probably be as good or superior to 1934.  If it is really critical there is hardware available for making low latency ethernet networks.  The other option would be using infiniband which is really low latency.  But interface cards for it are still pricey.  I think ethernet is a good option though.  Given a sane network and decent hardware it should be able to match 1394.  Also I don't believe there is anything on the market in the way of network attached audio devices.  It would be great if you could just drag one into a room with ethernet and be ready to go.
