Both scenarios give stunning results (as redirecting load to 'dirty' PSUs helps greatly) and would say the 700watt yielded a better performance (using a stock power cord). The better performance comes from less ripple noise and Juli@ soundcard (vs RME HDSP 9652). RME card does off-host ASIO processing (which is not needed as E2140 has plenty headroom even when underclocked) and has more complexity (supporting 52 channels). I like Juli@'s simple but quality approach (and have also removed its analogue PCB).
Cis,
Did you try RME Fireface 800 ext firewire card?
From what I heard it should provide the best sound quality, altough it costs MUCH more than the Juli@.
Follow Ups:
Yes cost is an issue with RME. Fireface 800 has much more functionality over what I need. My preference is for simple but quality implementations like the Juli@.
Try the ESI Duafire, the DAC is inferior to the juli@, but you may get less jitter and noise anyway.
ESI Duafire has no digital outs? I see Balanced and RCA analogue outs.
I'm using Juli@ in my 'minimalist' setup. Its amazing with foobar/SRC set to 192k. Also, no problems at lowest latency of 48 samples! (Had problems when using an expensive $400 mini-itx mobo - $55 Biostar mobo betters it). AKM 24/192 DAC chip (112db SNR) is used on the Juli@.
Is firewire your preferred interface?
An external soundcard is not susceptible to noise from computer like any pci one. Firewire is the best interface, because USB has intinsic jitter.
