Balanced I/O. Professional grade.
As to the AudioScience cards, they are common in radio stations and recording
studios. The audio specs (frequency response, distortion) are nearly the
best in the business. They are NOT cheap, though. But multiple balanced ins
and outs on XLR's (by way of octopus cabling) works very well.
One of the radio stations I engineer for has a couple of the higher end ASI
cards 4336 maybe? Anyway, they have the digital I/O (for triggers and
switching, not digital audio), and they are very happy with the quality of
the cards.
If these cards get good Linux drivers, this will be killer.
