Two-channel AD/DA converters?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I'm looking to get an external 2ch ADC/DAC to get away from using the
decidely iffy motherboard audio.

What's out there in the sub-$500 range? I realize I COULD spend
$1500/channel, but that's more than a bit outside my budget.

Thanks.

If there's something Fantabulous for <$100 (right) that'd be good too.

There's the Behringer ADA8000 for around $200.00. You'll need an ADAT
PCI card to connect it. I also found a Lynx 1 on Ebay. Internal card,
but they sound good.

Check out the Presonus Firebox :

Just under $400 street and comes with a basic version of Steinberg's Cubase
recording software.

So are you asking about a soundcard rather than converters per say?
