You raise a good question

Christine:

If Patchmix can handle VST plugins, this WOULD be awesome - eliminating the need for an external VST host.

I have looked long and hard at different cards - and the EMU 1820M is definately on my shortlist, along with others from Lynx, RME and Edirol.

Apparently, the 1820M uses some really good DACs in it as well. I can't remember if the Breakout box / dac module is PC bus powered or from an external source. The ability to power the DACs from a clean, regulated (or battery) source is a "must have" on my list.

ESI also makes some cards which use the "Directwire" patch software - hey didn't you mention this software some time ago? This is a neat "GUI" for those that want to "virtually connect" wires to create their PC's audio stream. Nothing wrong with an intuitive solution I guess...

Thanks again for the informative discussions.

Cheers,
Presto
