I've been trolling eBay for deals on gear, and I
noticed that some
Terratec cards are available for low prices. The specs on the EWS88
cards look pretty good, but I thought I'd check with the folks on this
list to see if anyone had an opinion on this hardware.
So, anyone have any opinions on the Terratec cards ?
I have an EWS88MT, works well. I've had it for about 3 years now, and
it's my first good soundcard so I have no baseline for the sound
quality, although I'm happy with it.
I only use the analog IO, haven't tried s/pdif and midi. There are
settings in envy24control for s/pdif.
I have to bump the pci latency up to f0 to avoid xruns, but I suspect
that has more to do with the VGA controller than the sound card.
