I'm not sure.. it has ASIO which does that..

I bought a SB Audigy when they first came out but then realised that although Creative advertise their card as being 24bit you can only record 16bits on it. It can play 24bit wavs but not record them. Also when using the asio drivers you can only record at 48khz and not the more popular 44.1khz. I have relegated the audigy to my second PC about 2 years ago and have been happily using a Terratec EWX 24/96 every since!

Get anything but a creative card they are good for listening to mp3's and playing games on but if your serious about recording music get a card that suits the job.

An inner buffer? do you mean a DSP? No, they don't.

Hmm dunno either ... I know an echo mia has a buffer for oversampling. Noticed it also takes some strain from the cpu when upping this buffer to say 1024k. Using 'echo wdm' instead of 'directx' for playback seems to give me a little headroom too. I can only assume the audiophile is the same because these two cards have almost equal specs

I agree with checking out some Terratec stuff .. the DMX Fire one is like what an Audigy should have been wuth pure 24/96, a break out box, surround sound and and all those drivers you might miss for gaming

I say M Audio over Creative. I've heard great songs from people in these forums that use Creative soundcards but that's more for gaming. M Audio is more professional and more oriented to producing.
