Subject: [AUDITORY] Replacement for Hammerfall DSP 9632 sound card From: "Jennings, Todd Richardson" <toddj@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2019 21:31:09 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear list,=0A= =0A= My lab has been using the Hammerfall DSP 9632 PCI sound card for each of ou= r 6 sound-proof booths for psychophysics research. However, we need to upg= rade our computers, and PCI is no longer a option. I know Hammerfall makes= the HDSPe AIO, which is the equivalent sound card for PCI express, but it = is pretty expensive (about $900 USD) considering we need 6 of them.=0A= =0A= I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what sound cards are good these= days. I know USB sound cards are an option, but are there major downsides= to those, like increased latency these days? Would PCI express be better = in this regard? Too much latency will be an issue since we need to track u= ser responses' to what they hear.=0A= =0A= To be a bit more specific about our needs, we need at least two channels of= analog input and out least two channels (ideally four or more) of analog o= utput. We also need ASIO support (these will be used on Windows 10), and a= wide dynamic range is important. Digital I/O and high sampling rate are n= ot important. The computers support USB 2, USB 3, and PCI express. =0A= =0A= Thank you very much for your help!=0A= =0A= Sincerely,=0A= Todd=0A=
