No idea on the quality of this one... perhaps comp.sys.* would better tell me but... I just bought a Quadrant "MD Mate" PCI Sound Card (Windoze only) from Egghead.com for US$65 including shipping. (http://www.egghead.com/category/inv/00442577/03742942.htm) It has an Optical In/Out daughter card with the following specs: DIGITAL AUDIO (SPDIF IN/OUT) * Up to 24-bit stereo 44KHz sampling rate voice playback/recording * Full duplex playback and recording, 120dB measured audio quality * Auto detectable SPDIF/IN signal level from 0.5V to 5V * 120dB audio quality in playback, recording, and bypass modes Comments? Has anyone seen or used this card? The company lists no support or drivers on their web page, and I assume that's why I found the card in Egghead's clearance department... -Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
