Hi there

After a lot of searching I still haven't made any sense of a digital
issue I'm facing. I'm putting togeather a simple DAW system for mixing
and the occasional overdub that I plan to base around the Apogee
Rosetta 200 a/d d/a once it's available. It seems that a firewire
interface may manifest for it, but until then I was planning on using
the digital outs to some type of pci card.

Since the digital outputs are post conversion will any PCI card with a
digital interface like spdif or aes/ebu be fine, or are there other
factors to consider to maintain the integrity of the audio?

I'm very new to that side of digital audio and haven't quite figured
out where conversion stops and non degenerating 1's and 0's flow...
Thank you for your time.

Tim

Tim,

Pretty much any card with digital I/O will do the trick for you. All of
the conversion is taking place inside the Rosetta.
