Allan,
Thank you. I think what i am going to do is to pick up a RME Hammerfall
HDSP 96/52 and a Apogee Rosetta 8000. This way, i can get multi-channel
and mixing capabilities up to 96kz. I understand that the RME DSP 9636
does 192khz which is more desirable, but it will not output 192khz
digitally other then spdif (stereo only).

D/A conversion inside the PC does not always mean
jitter and noise. The
LynxTwo series of PCI cards has very little noise and some of the best
sounding DACs I've heard. Unfortunately, the LynxTwo series is not
supported by Alsa, only OSS.

Thanx Paul. Here is what i am trying to do. I
want to use my
computer as a
front end in a multi-channel system with a little as possible
between it and
the amplifiers for purities sake. I do not want D/A conversion
inside the PC
as that is noisy and jittery. I do not want to use spdif or toslink
as those
are also jittery (or so i understand).
