Cheap usb gear if that's what you need. only 24 / 48k though. Sounds
good to me though. I use ortofon needles and run the turntables
through my ecler mixer. All round sound quality is very good.

After several frustrating weeks playing with my
Audiophile USB
I'mgoing to punt and get something else. For the archives: ALSA
users interested in high-end capture should_not_ buy this
device.(FWIW it sucks in windows too) - Its only a USB 1.1 device and
24bit 96k is half-duplex only.- Its (almost) S24_3BE so you have to
use plughw or jackd has to bepatched to use it. I say almost
because the few times I did get thecard to record something I had to
reorder the byte data to get it notto sound like white noise.- As of
ALSA 1.0.10 capture is broken. So I'm looking for a replacement. I
bought this card because it had areally good recording specs (I just
missed the half-duplex part) and Idont' need a pro-multi channel
since all I'm tyring to do is recordLPs to CD. Can someone recommend
a 24bit 96kHz full-duplex card that they thinkhas good enough
recording specs for LP's that not going to cause me topull all my
hair out trying to work with ALSA. --Richard A. Smith
How about the M-Audio 2496 card? It's a PCI card, works right out of the
box with ALSA and is reasonably priced ($99). And it's full duplex,
zero-latency monitoring, digital I/O as well as analog RCA I/O
