Hello there.i wanna know if there is any difference about quality of exporting between sound cards which are using ASIO,if yes,what is the best sound card for getting best quality of exporting with ASIO?

What do you mean with exporting? Outputting an analog waveform and recording it with another device?

Thanks for your answer and no,let's assume that i am a compose and i have created a song in my DAW,now i want to export(output)it to wav or mp3 or etc...

You can do a mixdown using your DAW only. It'll combine all your tracks into whatever format you choose (mono, stereo, 5.1, ...). This is done purely in software, so there's not even need for ASIO for exporting.
Check your DAW's menu for export or mixdown.
 
 
You'd only need a D/A and A/D converter if you want to do analog summing or have hardware effect processors.

Thanks.doesn't even export option use ASIO?

 

[The Thinker]

no,i'm not.

Afaik not, export functionality just sums all tracks. Theoretically you don't even need a sound card for that.
 
What's your DAW?
