SV: Hi-fi soundcard
Hi, I think this is exactly what I am looking for, providing that it can convert both ways at minimum 96 KHz / 24 bits. I'll definitely go and explore it tomorrow.

This is a real piece of hi-fi kit produced by a well respected hi-fi brand rather than a piece of computer kit. It will connect via USB and can be bought for approx. £150 from www.superfi.co.uk Regards.

I Tim, Sounds very interesting. I still need to be able to record from analogue sources, so I'd better stick to a real sound card. Currently, I am looking at Audiotrak and Terratec, but I don't know how accessible their software is. Best regards Bue -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Tim Crawford Sendt: 1. november 2009 14:26 Til: PC Audio Discussion List Emne: Re: Hi-fi soundcard Hi Bue, I'm using a little device here called the UD10.1 audio converter from Trends audio. It connects to your pc via usb, and has a variety of outputs including both optical and coaxual s-pdif, XLR, and BNC. The 3.5mm headphone socket also doubles as a line output, and provides phono out by means of a 3.5mm to RCA connector. I have the ud-10.1 feeding a Beresford DAC, via the coax digital out, which in turn connects to the amplifier with good quality rca interconnects. My music files are in lossless flac format, and I am very happy with the results, with sound quality being as good as, and probably better than my Arcam Alpha 9 cd player. I should say that the ud-10.1 is solely an output device, so if you wish to record, another method would have to be considered. Best regards, Tim.

Re: SV: Hi-fi soundcard
Andy, I can't find any of the messages now, but we had a similar thread to this a month or more back. I can't recall the higher end sound card that was recommended then, but hope someone can. the simple answer would be the M-Audio cards, but they've gone and screwed up the mixer software for their cards something rotten so that the sound panel, which was accessible, is no longer so. I'm always hearing about the Turtle Beach sound cards from those in the U S , but I've not seen them advertized here. sorry if none of that helps greatly, but maybe someone will come back, re. that earlier thread.
