I've never used an outboard unit for A/D conversion before, so forgive me if this question sounds a bit newbie-ish.
When you use an outboard A/D converter, how does your existing sound card handle the datastream? Would it just pass the data unaffected or does that datastream get changed in any way? (Assuming you have a 24 bit sound card.)
Example: I have the Audiophile 2496 soundcard (24-bit/96kHz). If I bought the Lucid 9624 (24-bit/96kHz) would the datastream go from the converter through the soundcard unaffected? Or does the Lucid come with it's own hardware interface (PCI card)?
In short, I don't want the Audiophile to screw up the Lucid's quality conversion.
