* Converter 24 bit, 96kHz analog / digital (A / N) for various analog inputs It's a pity because it was a good sound card. It's a pity that the manufacturer didn't think about some sort of electrical protection for the USB connector (it can't be that hard to implement!). Sometimes the power LED lights on a couple of seconds but the PC won't detect the card so I think the chip is burnt or something (after 2 and a half years of use). There was probably a voltage surge in the USB slot where the sound card was connected to and it doesn't work any more. So don't use a USB hub between the PC and this sound card. More on this point: if you want to record a signal on an external USB HDD to play it back at 32bit/96kHz, don't use a USB hub because it will be overloaded and it won't ever have enough bandwidth for this!!! The latency is not exceptional but it is no surprise for a USB 2.0 sound card. I have another USB sound card (USB Sound Blaster MP3+ - SB0270) but the product isn't listed any more on the manufacturer's homepage so I'm starting to worry about future driver updates!!!! It was a bit difficult to fully understand the drivers operation in order to make a basic installation (to avoid installing unnecessary software that only uses up RAM, space on the HDD and increases CPU usage!). No installation problems (don't lose the 3 CD-ROMs provided!!!) I used it mainly as sound card at home because my laptop had no optical connections. I only use the optical connection to avoid contacts with the amp (I had a ground loop problem because the amp was connected to a MD player, which in turn was connected to the PC via a USB cable!!). The sound is ok for a consumer product and it can route input signals directly to the output, so the optical and analog inputs appear as master in the windows control panel.
