I respectfully disagree with Senor Wavelength. The only part of the sound card that I ever used was the input/output jacks and the A/D chips. It seems wasteful to me to take up all that space and feature rich technology (7.1 surround sound?) only to use the A/D capability.
In my exploration of the SDR-1000 I purchased five (5) different sound cards. Each one was successively MORE expensive than the last. Each promised better performance (in their specifications at least) and better digitization. None, except the Delta-44, ever measured up to their stated specs. The cards I remember are mobo-AC97, Turtle Beach, Creative MP3+, M-Audio Revolution, Creative Audigy-2ZS. Mercifully, they are all now in the care of an outstanding Ham, N8VB, rather than contaminating a landfill! The promise of a single hardware board that offers the user control of software and hardware tuning parameters, is simply too sexy to dismiss due to one's notion of simplicity. de ken n9vv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Alberto: > > Everyone seems to find A/D interesting.
