Its a very nice card.....extremely quiet compared to SoundBlaster type cards.....it actuall has 1 stereo input analog and 1 stereo input S/PDIF....i can record4 tracks at once on mine...i run my J-Station thru the S/PDIF and record 2 tracks (stereo left and right) and also have my Delta DMP2 preamp going into the analog in which I usually have 2 mics running into.......
