Heard about this card, only RMAA results are VS the m-audio audiophile 2496.

$179 price tag on it, interesting to hear any results on this card, got the info from 3DSS forums, no real info on it though.

Very unusual (and good) looking card. That whole "reverse the car" part to ge digital or analof I/O seems very interesting, I'd have to see it in practice. Doesn't seem to offer quite the bang for the buck of the 1212M, though, but I guess that will only be proven through a head-to head test.

I know about this card since some time.. it's just a more recent implementation of Envy24HT with usuall clock generator, nothing that could rival RME or E-MU.. probably WT192X with better D/A converters, nothing more (since WT192X already has the best ADC in the world)..
