After discussions here 18 months ago on these usb boxes I bought this
same asonic ( though called something else)
for a premium price then of £14 and it worked through osx 10.6
without a hiccup - I bought it for cheap playback
tests of multiple audio outputs from bidule/reaper and it worked
after setting up the outputs in OSX with no
driver needed. On older macs it can hiccup using 8channel out but
set it back to 6 channel and its fine - continual
audio dropouts on all outputs - I never got to the bottom of this.
Ive not used dolby decodes on it but it also works for palyback with
XP and Linux when tested originally. It even worked with Protools9
which was brand new when I got the box
and is the most choosy of programs
Sound quality I guess is similar or worse than standard inbuilt
outputs - oh and the usb connection isnt deep
enough meaning it falls out if you move it
other than that it did what it says on the tin

Subject: Re: [Sursound] ultra-cheap m/c USB cards for the R-Pi?
Hmm - not exactly ultra cheap! The Janus A/D/A is $ 163 US for
members of TAPR and it needs the Magister USB interface as well,
which is $ 199 US for members of TAPR.They do give you much more
control and it sounds like its really good kit, but....anyway, if

In "ultracheap", have any of you ever probed the radio amateur
circuit? I mean really probed it deep, even if some of you probably
are a part o it already. They evidently do ultracheap circuits, even
including USB interfaces, and will ship the parts and the boards
to you at cost. Including boards with pretty bad ass A/D/A
designs, as in what TAPR does.
