Best Soundcard?

[Jburn34]

I need a decent soundcard for my new computer. I mainly need one with good quiet outputs to send to my reference amp and monitors when mixing on the computer. I also wouldn't mind having one or two inputs to record on occassionaly...I have an m-audio dmp3 preamp and usually record on a stand alone unit.

I also just got a used Emu APS sound card but it didn't come with the breakout box, plus I've read you have to convert frequencies...and I don't even know if it has any outs on the card.

Any info and suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Also pricy !!
May want to look into the m-audio series. Delta 44-66 or 10/10

It sounds like what you want at a minimum would be an m-Audio Audiophile or an Echo Mia, both under $200.

If you want better converters, the LynxOne would be a good choice and it's in the $400-500 range. It doesn't do 96khz recording though (although it might playback 96k).

All those cards are basically stereo cards, two inputs & two outputs.
