Product Description

 
The Audiophile 2496 delivers uncompromising professional grade digital audio to the home and project studio markets. Music professionals are uncompromising when it comes to the quality and performance of their audio cards. They don't just demand realism; they demand reality. The Audiophile 2496 can achieve this standard because it doesn't rely on gimmicks that compromise sound quality. The Audiophile 2496 is an all-in-one high fidelity soundcard solution for a wide variety of applications, ranging from multitrack recording to computer-based home theatre. Analog I/O is available on RCA jacks, utilizing the same professional 24-bit, 96kHz conversion as the Delta 44 and Delta 66 cards. S/PDIF I/O and MIDI I/O provide connectivity to both digital devices, and the world of MIDI.
