        in the end i am more pleased with it than the m-audio 2496 which is also an excellent and cheaper card but i find the 2496 highs particularly on hihats to be mildly offensive.

        you can keep your soundblasters and bloatware.

        RME are also supposed to be excellent but better to get a 2496 cheap and output via spdif to a decent DAC. 2496 has a very nice spdif signal.

          I still have SB AWE-64 Value And CMI-8329A based card (manufacturer unknown) in the other machine - this one has hardware MIDI wavetable (Dream) so MIDI sounds really good (much better than AWE64 )

            one of my friends got a track on an amateur techno album made with awe64 and fasttracker

            you can find cheap cards with same chip as m-audio : via envy. it is an awesome chip especially if card has AKM converters.

              Luxons and Capxons sound pretty good for audio applications - you can leave those caps in until they fail (may not happen - this is a low ripple-current environment). At that time you can consider putting in Elna.

              (I have a 12-year old Aztec Sound Galaxy filled with Elna caps that still sounds great).

              On an unrelated note, I just recapped a few ISA 2-channel sound cards where the decoupling caps around the IC power amp looked iffy. Why bother? Because the Class-AB integrated amps on those cards sound *much better* than the Class-D crap on some of the newer cards. I use these on dedicated PI/PII MP3 systems.

                BTW, do these cards have external DAC chips or are they integrated on the main DSP chip itself?
