Hey Fred,<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">The goal is to have 2 in, 2 out, MIDI, and maybe digital coax plugs.<br>
Full duplex, integrated DSP, ASIO2, latency "zero", 24bits/96kHz ability<br>
have to be there.<br></blockquote><div> </div>Although you covered allmost all the details there's one or two more important factors:<br>-FireWire or USB? <br>-Internal or External ok too...?<br><br>If FireWire and External are ok, an AudioFire 2 from Echo is exactly what you describe above:<br>
2 in, 2 out, MIDI, S/PDIF.<br><br>It doesnt have onboard DSP... but I dont know if you really mean an onboard DSP chip with that..?<br>It is "full duplex", but expect that from any soundcard these days, and it does 24bits@96kHz, 2ms <br>
on an RT kernel recording on a modest laptop.<br><br>Due to it using FireWire, you need the FFADO backend for JACK. Check <a href="http://ffado.org">ffado.org</a> for details & support levels.<br>(The Echo is fully supported.)<br>
<br>Its worth checking out I think, Hope to have helped, -Harry<br><br><br>
