Another better card, albeit more expensive, is the EMU-1212M (pay attention to the final M. It exists also a version without the M, with reduced dynamic range). It is a bit complicated to configure (the control panel of its driver seems the cockpit of a Jumbo airplane...) but the dynamic range is excellent. The Audiophile 192 was tested by Marco IK1ODO in his professional lab, and he found that its noise starts to be objectionable above about 40kHz, so its 192kHz sampling rate is not much usable, at least for SDR applications. 73 Alberto I2PHD
