Re: MD: Digital soundcard for laptop?
Yamaha makes a "personal reciever" @RPU100 (or similar) that connects via USB and offers some very interesting features for only $499.Digital optical i/o, virtual surround, etc... www.yamaha.com charles [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wiremailorder.com/ There is the sonicport optical, which retails for au$899 (sorry - don't know $us), or the Roland UA-100, about au$799. I don't really know the specs, although the roland has a series of effects which allow you to use the box separately as an effects box, it uses the Virtual Soundcanvas MIDI synth. The Roland runs on an external power supply, I don't know about the Sonicport. Roland has released a smaller version without the effects, but i don't know anything about it - it mightn't have an optical out. I know that those two have optical outputs, there may be more i don't know of. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm looking for a soundcard with a digital out for my laptop PC...everything I've seen thus far has been strictly for desktop PC...any suggestions? db Does Your Laptop have USB Support? If so, I've got a recommendation for a product that'll be easier to work into your laptop than a digital sound card with the appropriate i/o config to record digitally. It's a Roland UA30, Analog I/O (RCA stereo w/ gain control 1/4" mono guitar or mic in w/ gain control) and Digital I/O (TOSLink Coaxial). They're available @klay.com for $289 and they're very sweet (but you've gt to have a laptop with USB Support and win98/win2000... they have TypeII USB Cards... in case you don't have native support). You can probably email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get a very detailed .pdf file from him that will answer most of your questions. I've had mine long enough to use it to master several CDs and the is a DISTINCT Difference from the CDs I used to make going across analog into my PC ... and I was very careful to have the ideal environment for the conversion. But this device blows it away! If you're going from analog source to digital, the conversion is superb.
