I'm really pleased to hear that your results were so good. This is what
I expected should be possible, but I admit to being surprised that it
worked so well just at 44.1/16. Wish I could afford the Lavry ADC -
that sounds like a winner.
Just fo...

This might be an overly-obvious suggestion, but have you checked (with
an audio editor program) that you're using most of the available
recording range? That is, are peaks on the signal up near the maximum
level possible given your recording depth...

I don't know of that many motherboards with on-board SPDIF _input_,
most just have output (and not terribly good output at that). The AES16
and the L22 are within $50 of each other, with the AES16 usually being
cheaper.
The logic behind buying ...

If you're sure you're not going to do the DA or AD conversion in the
card, then the AES16 is all you need. However, if you might want to try
just using the AD conversion on the cards (which might be just fine,
hard to say without trying), then you...

As Tony points out, there are some digital cards with supposedly good
converters in them. The Lynx Studio LynxTwo or Lynx L22 cards are
said to work well. But the computer IS a very noisy environment, and
the idea of converters in it scares ...

I would be interested to hear your reaction to the same CD ripped
properly on a CD-ROM drive rather than recorded from SPDIF stream. If
your transport is VERY good, they should be equivalent... but on
damaged discs, or with bad transports, the err...

Romy,
I've been storing all my digital music on a computer located fairly far
from the audio system for quite some time now. You've brought up a few
issues that are worth discussing.
1) Storing the digital stream - I assume you mean either (...

It looks like you're looking at the right brands for ADC. It seems
likely to me that getting proper A/D conversion is as hard as or harder
than getting proper D/A conversion. I'm currently shopping for a good
A/D converter for a number of purposes...
