hello friends,
i'm searching for a card with just digital i/o to connect to an external
converter. budget is critical. one possibility we've thought of is the
dio2448, but i've seen also the edirol UA-1D USB:
http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1d.html
i couldn't find it in the list supported by alsa, but perhaps it's because
it's still new. any comments on this? any other suggestion in that price
range?
thank you.

Luis,
I can highly recommend the Hammerfall Light. (Digi9636) I found one
on Ebay this morning. They are a bit expensive, but the driver under
Alsa is quite good from what I Can tell. I use it in one of my machines.

You wouldn't face many issues in terms of Alsa support vs. other
solutions that are not as tested.
Cheers,
MArk

New Dios are 24/96 http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/dio2496.php
...and they have an optical connect. {Whether it's supported or not...}
Audiophiles seem to have dropped in price a bit:
http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/audiophile.php
{I'm sure you can find them both at a much lower price and I doubt you
can fault the sound.}
Terratecs cards use the same chip, are supported, etc...

It looks like the Mia's gotten support {Major + for linux sound}. Great
sound... Mia's been discontinued... you can still find them pretty easy.
http://space.virgilio.it/g_pochini@virgilio.it/ea.html
You might check into the whole line.

On another hand. The motherboard I'm using comes with spdif in and out,
an ac97 codec, 6 channel sound, built in midi, firewire and USB2 {and
smartcards, lan, raid, largish bus, etc}. Sound is excellent, setup is
automatic under both Debian and RH9, it runs about $125-150 and the
machine took me about 45 minutes to build. It's only 16 bit though.

Turtle beach has some cheapish cards and they had absolutely flat response
1o years ago. http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/santacruz/producthome.asp
{I'm not sure what your budget looks like.} I have a Santa Cruz... It's
supported under alsa {with hardware mixing} It sounds really good... It's only
16 bit.
You might be able to find a cheapish Yamaha somewhere... It looks like most of
them are supported.

Hello,
try the edirol UA-1A, it's supported by alsa, and it's not really
expansive, the price is the same as the other edirol UA-1D .
http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua1a.html
http://www.nextag.com/serv/main/buyer/outpdir.jsp?doSearch=y&search=edi… (less
expansive here than the UA-1D!!) ;-)

no info on their site, but a quick google indicates that
the output is resampled, negating quality usage.
the cmi8738 chipset in the dio2448 works well (i have several).
The midiman seems a bit overpriced (~e120) as there are complete motherboards
containing this chipset for less than the price of the midiman:-)
Having said that, i havnt personally found a cheaper card. If you
find something, pls let us know:-)
cheers
