Hi,
I have such a card. It is well supported under alsa and usable with
jack. I use it succesfully for digital io (samplerates 44100 and
48000). It does no internal resampling, so the quality is good. The ad
and da converters are not that good, but usable.
I'm about to buy a new soundcard, but havn't
decided fully yet on
which product to buy. We'r not talkin Pro equipment here. The main
purpose (not the only!) ist pass through digital signals to a Meridian
DAC. One I'm lookin at is the Trust 514DX 5.1. It's fairly priced and
have an extra bracket for digital toslink and RCA. The chip is the
ever so populare c-media cd3DX cmi8738. Basically, apart from some few
details on their web site, I don't know anything about this
product/chip. What can I expect? What can it do? How does it measure,
etc...... I would greatly apriciate it if anyone out there have the
knowledge and time to give me some opinions, experiences, facts and so
on....
