Im currently using the Audiophile 2496 by M-Audio. I read up on some other cards like the E-MU 1820m the 1010 by m-audio the MBOX and others. .My question is what is up with this 192khz compared to the 96khz on the lower class interfaces. My audiophile runs 24/96khz the higher end 1820m by Emu runs 24/192khz But then also on the higher end the 1010 by audiophile also runs 24/96khz. .so can some explain, other than the amounts of I/O's what is the determining factor in a good interface?

Help need . Thanx

All it comes down to the quality of the product, sound, amount and type of I/O, flexability, features and price.

Keep in mind that you get less I/O, eat more processing resources and disk space using 192K. Very few people really benifit from it.

Out of all the choices I researched, I went with the E-MU EmulatorX Studio (1820M). I don't trust and believe firewire or USB stuff is as reliable or stable as a PCI at this time. Like any and all of the computer audio interfaces, the E-MU is not perfect, has a few quirks but suits my needs and has the best overall value for the money of any current product offering.
