hey frank
hows it going old LAU bloke?
I see, Yee-King is in da house. Word up!
i see you're pretty active on this list... what sound card did you end up with?
Well, none yet. At first I decided on the Terratec Phase 26 USB, which is a really nice box and worked well, but testing it on my laptop showed, that my notebook couldn't keep up power-wise: instant reboot when inserting the USB cable. It worked while powered with the external power supply, though.
Now I guess I will get the Terratec Aureon 5.1 USB, which is more on the low end as far as multichannel cards go, but it worked flawlessly and instantly on both my computers. It's the same as the Audiotrak Maya 5.1 USB and I think a device by ESI. I'm a bit fed up with cards that require a lot of fiddling to get them to work. The current Quattro desaster remembered me, that the Quattro was not reliable in all the year I own it now. So it's time to stop configuring and start DJing. ;)
