finally got an RME card

This is not a diss post on M-Audio, but I just upgraded my card from the Ozone onboard card to the RME HDSP 9632 and I'm sooooo glad I made the move. I've been wanting an RME card for years, but just couldn't seem to get it together to get one.

Of course, there's really no way to compare the two, and I'm not trying to. The Ozone has it's place and I'd not try to diss it at all. It's a wonderful little piece of gear to do all that for $137 on Ebay, eh? What more could I ask for? It'll still have a nice home here on the desk.

But, I just want to encourage anyone looking for a great card, that the RME HDSP 9632 sounds great, works great. I'll not need another card anytime soon, that's for sure. Not the cheapest around, but I can assure you, you'll hear the difference.

Regards,

Kenfen

Had mine for more than a year now, I'll second everything.
Fantastic drivers and a killer tool called Digicheck.

nice one... but of course, this is to be expected. RME is pretty much the best soundcard(s) around, unless you dig into the high end league...

I recently bought a Multiface II. I was using an Aardvark DP 24/96 - the difference is impressive esp with respect to latency. I can go to 1 ms -

multiface II here too, couldn't be more happy with it. Expecially with the routing possibilities offered by the totalmix matrix.

Yes, the total mix matrix is soooo cool

Unfortunately there is no Digicheck for MacOSX and it's not planned either

Thanks for the pointer, the RPM looks VERY good. Does anyone give that a thumbs up as well?

I'm intrigued that they say zero latency is not possible with USB. Does FireWire have any advantages over USB2 on a PC?

Thanks,

yes if you have a full 6pin connex.

firewire is genrallz better for audio, it§s more reliable, and the chaining actuallz works, zou can easz run a crad and daisz chain several other usnits like HDs without loosing bandwith, also firewire takes less strain - bandwith from zour szstem and regarding speed, the 400mbs compared to 480mbs, exists on a piece of paper... Firewire is faster. also firewire is capable of carrying more juice altogether. (e.g. feeding selfpowered devices like a traveller or selfpowered HDs or DVD burners)

but that applys only if you have a *true* 6pin connex if you have a 4pin, it does not matter. usb 2,0 will be fine.
