I'm about to put together my computer for the studio.

I do all the multitracking on a Tascam. Basically, I'd just like the computer to be able to record 24-bit files from the Tascam via S/PDIF. I was going to go with the M-audio 2496 card, but just ran across some motherboards made by DFI that have S/PDIF inputs.

Any thoughts? Should the DFI inputs be just as good as the Maudio card inputs?

Thanks
