HELP??? What cards have best a/d converters???

[Deadboyy]

I am in the process of buying a soundcard studio package and I was wondering if any of you recording guru's out there had any suggestions on which soundcards have the best analog to digital converters???

Well........... I'm no guru but check out this site: http://www.pcavtech.com/soundcards/ Quality of the converters is a very important consideration, but certainly not the only one (number of in/outs, midi, price, etc.). Hope this helps.

I am in the same boat - looking for a soundcard with functionality of the soundblaster live platinum with the live drive, but a higher quality version with maybe 24 bit and stable multitrack recording. I wish there was a professional version of the soundblaster live w live drive because that combination midi/digital/analog ins outs box that fits in a 5 1/4 bay is EXACTLY what I need in terms of connections, but everyone seems to say the card itself isn't that great for multitrack quality or reliabilty and I have heard the timing drifts.

Someone help and give me some direction towards a good pro card that isn't a million dollars!

I haven't tested all the cards myself, but from what I hear the Midiman Delta and the RME cards get good reviews for their converters.

Yes RME

It would even be worth a visit to their site. They also make standalone converters to do ADAT and TDIF at 96K. Check their specs. Fostex chose the RME Hammerfall card to transfer 24 tracks I/O of the PC. for their flagship HDR -D2424. The D2424 uses some of the best converterss made. www.RME-audio.com

Pro converters on a card...Id say LynxOne, RME, and Digital Audio Labs....cards like Deltas and Echos are good, but not in the same league with the above....
