Just so I can add a bit to the discussion before I hijack this thread...

Keeping up with PC motherboard connections (mini PCIe?) and mismatched bus connector options on balanced audio cards seems like a full time job in and of itself. Not to mention the cost of balanced audio cards. I'm starting to think that a 100% digital audio chain is the best way to go. And with clients for whom cost is a factor (most of my Community Radio clients), just go with the on-board audio and use something like an Angry Audio Balancing Gaget (https://angryaudio.com/balancinggadgets/) or the Henry Engineering equivalent. And there is always the plethora of USB audio devices. It simply seems clumsy to be using these external devices just to get a clean, multi-channel audio signal... We now return you to this thread, already in progress.... ~David Klann
