personally speaking, i would avoid this card. even though the RME products
that came after this are, in my opinion, peerless, this one came before RME
really understood how to do PCI bus-mastering. as a result it is an
inefficient h/w design that requires the device driver to do a bunch of work
that in the digi9652 and everything that followed was done by the hardware.
i am sure that the sound quality is good, probably even a little better than
the m-audio but certainly comparable - its just not up the same internal
design specs as RME's later products.
