I am wondering how much shipping would be. If it is less than $50 total then it is a bargain.

I emailed him to see what it would be to Calif. When I find out I will post.

eddie replied 17 dollar shipping to California USA.

Wow. $46 for a digital output. Sounds like a great deal.

I wonder about driver support and if you can get non-resampled output...

I emailed Eddie and he said it does not resample and uses ASIO2ks as drivers

How much was it?

 

[escaflo]

interesting, i wonder if this would be better than that Turtle Beach Audio one. Impressions please once it comes!

Eddie said that the device supports 16 bit-96khz. Seeing that my M-Audio Transit died for no reason (and to be perfectly honest, I couldn't really tell the difference between 16bit and 24bit... someone enlighten me here) I may get one...

Kitaoji....... that name certainly brings back memories..........
is your name strawberry related?

 

[kitaoji]

no, it's not Ichigo 100% related... it's Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars) related ^____^

But anyway, does anybody know anything about the chips used in the device?

I say get an M-audio transit for around $75.
It has both A/D and D/A, and optical In/Out.
Drivers will always be supported because M-audio is here to stay.
