Looking for sound card....

[waverz]

Can someone reccomend a simple inexpensive card that has SPDIF caox in??
I am on a super tight budget and am looking for something for under $100.
ThANKS.

the emu 0404 might, so might the audiophile. i think they are both around 100 bucks too.
i'm not completely sure on the specs but you can check them out at:
www.midiman.com
www.emu.com
Tarratec may make something as well.

When comparing the Terretec Phase 22, M-audio Audiophile 2496, and
Emu 404, which would be the best choice?
All three are presently in the under $100 category.

So what would be the best choice/buy between these 3 cards??
All are real similar spec wise as well as price.

I'd go for the M-Audio Audiophile. I've used one for around a year, in particular used the coax spdif extensively and it worked flawlessly. One of the most popular sound cards amongst HR members and not without a reason.
