I am trying to link my Fostex FD8 to my new Dell computer, using the FD8's optical s/pdif out. I was ready to buy a digital daughter card for my turtle beach ii card but heard that it is limited to 16-bit transfers. Not sure if this is an issue. Is it? I also came across the USB alternative. The plug & play aspect is appealing (I hate fighting to configure my computer). Roland's UA-30 seems a good choice and it also has a 1/4 inch guitar input (my main instrument). What are the Pros and Cons USB vs. digital i/o on a soundcard?
