-=> Quoting Roger Fingas to Lee Jackson <=-
 RF> What's your favourite (commercial) sound card right now (I
 RF> personally use an AWE32 PnP)?
 LJ> By commercial, I assume you mean consumer rather than Pro Audio, such as
 LJ> the Antex Studio Card or the DAL Card D+.  After using the Card D+, I 
hate
 LJ> to recommend any consumer cards anymore.  If I have to, I'd say the 
WE64
 LJ> Gold with a Roland/Edirol SCD-15 daughtercard.  I say this because it's 

 LJ> freaking de facto standard, which I hate.  Others to consider are the
        Most people would opt for just the AWE64, I think, since it does both 
music and sound.
        As to music daughterboards, what about Yamaha's DB50XG?  I hear 
that's supposed to be a good card.
 LJ> MaxiSound Home Studio 64 and the MediaTrix line.
        I've never seen one in a store.  What makes them special?
 RF> Have you heard a sample from Diamond's MonsterSound
 RF> (the new PCI card)?
 LJ> No, but we're trying to get ahold of one.
        It's supposed to be a hot card, although you can't use it with games 
in "pure DOS" mode.  Will it be supported for DNF?
