If there is no one who know this sound cards? Please share your experience. Each opinion is welcome.

Thank you

Philbul,
I think you can read all about the specifications at the company sites. Once you have done that your choices will probably already be focused a bit more.

When I did a similar exercise, I finally nailed it down in that I did not want to have a separate power supply for the sound-card. As I have a PC laptop this narrowed down the selection to USB-cards, not a single PC laptop available today can supply firewire power. And some of the cards you mentione requires a separate wall-wart.

My selection finally was the Digidesign MBox. In my eyes (and ears) it has decent mic-pres and decent AD, enough to allow me to do on location classical recording. There is also a decent DA and a decent headphone amplifier. I use the word decent to be clear that it is clearly above the "really budget level", but probably a bit below the "world class level", sort of in the middle ground. Of course you get PT LE with the MBox, but you can also use it with other applications.

All the cards you have mentioned are in my eyes, mostly from reading specs, in this same middle ground, meaning that you could probably select anyone of them and be reasonably happy.

Gunnar.

actually, i've heard that the motu traveller has bus powered firewire. Looks like a cool piece of gear.

Hi Gunnar, thank you for your posting.

I checked with details all available information from the company sites. Unfortunately in other sites I didn't find the reviews. I'm looking for middle level sound card mostly for home use - When we record we work in one of the best studios equipped with SSL, Genelec, Tascam DTRS, Lexicon, Neumann, etc.

I don't think I will use this card for recordings.

My questions was more for compatibility of cards with PC, quality of the AD and preamp-s and problems which come sometimes after frequent use.
