emu 1212m. go to www.emu.com
do not be offended by creative label, this is as good as it can be for 150 euros.
you can also get emu0404 (100 usd, a bargain), m-audio audiophile (about 90 euros), esi waveterminal, etc. |

emu is american, and now a trademark owned by creative, so you should be able to get them in canada easily. m-audio and esi are german, so i think you are better off going for emu. and i do not know can you get them in stores in canada, i live in croatia, no more than 18 000 kilometers away :) |

don't, the drivers cause problems in most sequencers. I just bought an Echo MIA MIDI. I dont know why everyone has those EMU cards, 192 just doesn't seem worth it. |

192 k is just one of the features. emu 0404 costs 100 usd, which is almost hilarious. emu1212m has, apart from 192 k which is not that important, the advantage of dsp effects, is not locked to 48 k like audigy is, and hi-quality audio converters used in protools (the most important part here), and all for 150 usd. you can even later buy a separate dock of your choice and add a powerful sampler with those famous emu z-plane filters which will not use your cpu at all. |
