That URL just gives me a "cannot find that in your language" error, but if
it refers to the Audiophile 2496, then the Linux-Audio members have been
completely unanimous in their recommendation.
The cards specs look awesome and even more than I need, but I know how such
things go... it's always in the details.
Such a thundering rush of similar recommendations from all quarters
certainly clears the way to my decision. I appreciate it.
Incidentally, I notice that Germany seems to be the centre of electronic
music devices/hardware of late.
In just the past week, I've spent alot of time perusing the following sites:
<http://www.doepfer.de/>
<http://www.rme-audio.com/>
and now m-audio. Here's to German audio excellence! Those cold winters
drive you indoors to tinker with great machines and perfect them, I
guess. :)
I grew up listening to German Electronica from the likes of Edgar Froese,
Peter Baumann, and Kraftwerk, et al, before I had the sense of what a
synthesiser was and such audio production methods in general.
