I just got a WaveCenter card from Frontier Designs, adat and spdif with 2x midi i/o. Only goes to 48kHz, though. $290. I wanted the new drivers that are not available for the other older card that I have. The other choice I considered was RME Digi96/8. (I have a Digi32/8.) Similar to WaveCenter but goes to 96kHz but no midi or patchbay type routing. About $300.

By the way, the prodif cards from Sek'd are repackaged RME cards sold for more money.

What are you exactly trying to do? Maybe the M-Audio (MidiMan) Audiophile 9624 would work. Only spdif i/o and audio i/o.

i need a digital i/o for my PC that has a analoge out to monitor when there is no converter (DAT, Workstation, Kyma etc.) conected. there´s a sekd prodif-32 on german ebay for 275DM wich sounds quite ok.
i want a card that has ASIO drivers and a kind of zero-latency when routing in to out and it should be able to record while playing. 44.1 and 48khz is a must.
AND most important: do i have to spend 300$ for this?!

Hi Frank,
I strongly recommend the RME Digi96 series although I don't use them (two) as ASIO cards.
Especially the Digi96 Pro seems to be the card you may be interested in most. http://www.rme-audio.de/digi96/digi96pr.htm

RME in the past had crappy drivers (Digi32 series). Nowadays they are very reliable -
at least on my NT systems.
