Never used one, don’t know if it works with ALSA, But I”ve looked at these in the past:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1331722-REG/esi_esi_m44ex_maya44_ex_4_in_4_out_pcie.html It appears that it is unbalanced, specs only state “provides 2 stereo analog line inputs, 2 stereo line outputs,” and it has 4 TRS jacks so….. But it could be useful in some applications and new is less than an ASI card. Not much out there new in a Card format, I think there are a couple “Gamer” oriented Cards out there by ASUS or Soundblaster You get two From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of R.

Firewire and gobs of balanced I/O and AES/EBU S/PDIF, optical, etc. More than you will need but all you will ever need. Don't know if it's still a current product. Not cheap tho. I think I have two of these and might try building an RD system to see if it will work.

While it's a very good interface, there has to be something recent which is comparable and just as affordable today, up to the task of modern computing. I'm not pooh-poohing this card or anyone who has success using it (or the Delta 44, 66, or 2496 interfaces). On the contrary, I applaud (and envy) your ability to get such long life out of your gear. But say one was to assemble a standalone RD studio system with new or recent PC hardware --- what affordable multichannel alternatives are there right now worth scoping out?
