Audio card INPUTS : Which is better? 1/4" TRS and TS or SPDIF (coax digital)

Which do you think is better for audio card INPUTS (not outputs):

1/4" TRS and TS
or
SPDIF (coax digital)

1. The balanced input jack on the audio card is rated at being 104 to around 107 dBA SNR.

2. We all know the SPDIF input is basically digital 1's and 0's.

WhichPCI audio card for Mytek Stereo96 DAC ?

I have purchased Mytek Stereo96 DAC, and connected it to my MOTU UltraLite mk3 Hybrid .
I was totally blown away by the improvement this little Mytek DAC gave in sound quality .
But the dealer says that ít's much better to combine Mytek with a PCI audio card . He recommended RME HDSP 9632 .
Is that a good choice ?
Does it exist any better alernative ?

Strange M-Audio Card Sample Rate Issue

Hello, a few weeks ago I bought an M-Audio Delta 1010LT. I've got it in a box running Windows XP Professional using the latest drivers from the M-Audio site. For some reason, Windows Sounds, CD's and my ripped music (FLAC) all play back too fast when I set the card to a 44100kHz sample rate, but play back fine at a 48000kHz sample rate. This is exactly backwards of what it should be.

What audio card to choose?

Hi,

Last moth I had a robbery at my studio and the whole computer was stolen.

I had a nuendo complete system and now I've bought another computer and I'm looking for an audio card: I'm not sure if I should buy a Nuendo DSP 96/52 (by RME) like the one I owned before or try with a MOTU or an Apogee.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
