I've been doing some research into PC sound cards in an effort to find one that performs at better than "for games" level. My intention is to have a computer with digital I/O card using an external DAC. This should isolate the noisy power supply of the computer from the analog path and hopefully reduce the noise to imperceptible levels. The SB live looked like the card to have until I found some test results that showed some less than favorable results, specifically the digital I/O is listed as "no better" than the analog! (30 hz to 15khz ) http://www.pcavtech.com/soundcards/ct4620/index.htm Actually I would be interested in hearing about people experience with Digital I/O capable sound cards. I have found several professional level cards with far more capabilities than I looking for, and a far higher price tag to go with it. The most promising card I have found so far is the MIDI man DiO 2448. http://www.midiman.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
