Certainly better than the speakers, might be better than the amp.

Very good.

The only potential negative that I have read about this card is that it
supposedly does not use interrupts. As I understand it, they poll for I/O
completions. If true, maybe it might require more cpu power. Then again,
without interrupts, it might theoretically be cleaner.

Where did you read this?

One post in either a Goggle search or some forum. Trying to find what I read
is not successful. However, it seems that after further reading of other
messages, that Audiophile 2496 does use IRQ. I just bought one and haven't
installed it yet. Are their any IRQ concerns about configuring, slots, what
IRQ the card accepts?

Thanks
