I have been considering getting an the Emu 0404 USB as an external source. However, I discovered that it can only do digital output if your media application supports ASIO. I am assuming that this is a limitation specific to the Emu 0404 USB. Unfortunately, this limitation is not acceptable for my uses so I need an alternative.
I am looking for a device in the 150-300 price range. I have no preference between USB or Firewire. I do not have Digital Out on my laptop, so I want a device that has the ability to pass-through DTS and Dobly Digital so I can use the device to pass audio to a A/V receiver for home theater use.
I was excited about the Emu because this way I could have decent recording capabilities too. I would like the potential alternative to offer recording abilities, but I can do without it if I must. If the device has a headphone-out with a good quality amplifier, that would be a lovely bonus too.
Any suggestions?
