The one that I got from Jeffrey is the Alesis IO|2 which, contrary to some marketing blurbs, does not work at 96 kHz... They released a new user manual, where the original 96 kHz spec was corrected into 48 kHz. more in agreement with the reality... I have reports that a good external USB audio device is the Audigy 2 NX, which unfortunately is no more produced. But maybe eBay can be of help here. The problem with USB devices is that in order to work at 96 kHz full duplex they must implement USB 2.0 and not 1.1, otherwise the channel capacity is not large enough. > > If you are willing to pay more than the Delta-44 PCI card, then the best ones > are from EMU.

You can sometimes find these on ebay. > Correct, but pay attention to the EMU-1212M. It implements an ASIO channel numbering scheme which is non standard, and as such it has problems with the current Winrad. I have one on loan, and when time permits I will add to the program the capability to choose which are the ASIO input channels where the I and Q signals can be found. 73 Alberto I2PHD _______________________________________________ Winrad mailing list [email protected] http://winrad.org/mailman/listinfo/winrad_winrad.org
