The A to D >converter in the sound cards of most computers is not that great. >(Good enough for mp3, but that is about it.) What sound cards (that have Linux drivers) would you recommand for very high fidelity stereo digitising? I have two purposes. One is a new interest in audio work. Another is a project in which I need to digitise and analyse two related analogue waveforms. Low noise, good linearity, flat freq. response down to 5 Hz, sampling rate of (at least) 192 Ksamples/sec are my initial specifications. The flat response is only a "want". I can calibrate out any deviations if they are not severe (like being at -60dB at 5 Hz :-). Thanks.
