Probably not. You might find that you get worse results by buying bottom
of the range 96k converters, v's mid range 48k converters (the quaility of
the filters and so on is is probably important).
I wouldn't be supprised if a some of the difference between the Pro Tools
converters and the Alesis ones was in the quality of the analogue stuff.

FWIW I'd go
with a 96k capable card, eg. hammerfall light, and 48k
converters for now and upgrade to 96k later when the price comes down.
I use my Hammerfall Light with an Alesis AI-3. It works very well,
although I think there are less expensive 8/8 converters out there now.
You have the same card Steve? What converters are you using? With decent 48k
converters I've never had any shortage of high-end,
especially for live recordings.
I agree, but my new Pro Tools stuff jsut sounds a bit smoother, warmer,
more full when operating in 96K mode. Better clocking, for sure, but I
assume the extra samples can't hurt...
