I may be moving some gear in the next week, and I'll have about $4,000, maybe a bit more. I'm looking for 2 PTHD cards (PCI is OK) and an interface.

Any suggestions on where to find one used besides ebay? Thanks.

No , but if you can get the 192 not the 96.
The 192's converters smoke the 96's at any sample rate.

Thank you. I am looking for 2 PCI cards and an interface.

I have a 96 IO but it's not for sale. And BTW the converters are fine on it. I guess I can't speak to how much better or worse the 192 is with extreme accuracy but off the cuff I'd say it's pretty negligible.

The 96 AD isn't bad, neither is the DA7's.

The 192 is just higher quality.

If you ever work at a place with both it's a pretty easy distinction to make.

I have heard some excellent mixes done with a 96io. But it was only 2 channels out, mixed in the box. I will eventually want 40 outs to my console, and 24 ins.

I'm not slammin' the 96.
Just saying there's more to the 192 than just doing the higher sample rates so if you can go that route do it.

Curious, how often do you record at 192? Or even 96? I'm still doing mostly 44.1 though I have a friend who almost exclusively records at 48. For my ears, for rock and pop music 44.1 works fine and dandy.

I almost exclusively stay at 44.1, 24 bit.
