Hi,
In message , tony sayer writes Is that card another name for the Audiophile 24/96?.... No, it's different - The 66 has more channels of I/O, a break-out box and it supports +4dBu signal levels. I haven't used one, so can't comment on the analogue signal quality. I use the Audiophile 24/96 a lot and like it (not the best in absolute quality terms for the money, but plenty good enough) and we have a Delta 1010 at work, which is very good. -- Regards, Glenn Booth |

We then have reports that a given (incompetently designed) DAC is so *revealing* that it allows you to clearly hear differences between transports and digital interconnect cables... Of course you are supposed to run right out and buy one! |
