Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Sound card replacement for LynxTWO-B From: Bob Masta <audio@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2018 09:21:11 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Alt-Boundary-7034.102618384 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: Quoted-printable Content-description: Mail message body How about a USB card such as the ASUS Xonar U7 7.1 USB? It has stereo inputs and 8 output channels, samples at up to 192 kHz, has 24-bit capability, and impressive low noise and distortion. See the "Comparison Table" under "Sound Card Performance Tests" at <http://www.daqarta.com/dw_gguu.htm#comp> Amazingly, it's under US $100. There is also a Creative Labs device that I haven't tested yet that appears to have similar capabilities.
