[LAU] need advice for soundcard

[Harry Van Haaren]

Hey Fred,

The goal is to have 2 in, 2 out, MIDI, and maybe digital coax plugs.
> Full duplex, integrated DSP, ASIO2, latency "zero", 24bits/96kHz ability

Although you covered allmost all the details there's one or two more
important factors:
-FireWire or USB?
-Internal or External ok too...?

If FireWire and External are ok, an AudioFire 2 from Echo is exactly what
you describe above:
2 in, 2 out, MIDI, S/PDIF.

It doesnt have onboard DSP... but I dont know if you really mean an onboard
DSP chip with that..?
It is "full duplex", but expect that from any soundcard these days, and it
does 24bits at 96kHz, 2ms
on an RT kernel recording on a modest laptop.

Due to it using FireWire, you need the FFADO backend for JACK. Check
ffado.org for details & support levels.
(The Echo is fully supported.)

Its worth checking out I think, Hope to have helped, -Harry
