M-Audio Delta Dio 24/96 Digital I/O card

Description

Professional digital transferring and mastering have never been as affordable and easily accessible as they are with the Delta DiO 2496. With a host of pro features, the Delta DiO 2496 is ready for any optical and coaxial S/PDIF applications.

Half-size PCI card: analog is configurable as +4dB or -10dB; built-in digital mixer allows the D/A converter to monitor digital inputs or act as its own independent stereo output; measured D/A specs: 101dB (A-weighted) dynamic range; 0.002% THD @ 0dBFS; all data paths support up to 24 bit/96kHz performance. Drivers include Windows 95/98, Windows NT, ASIO, ASIO2, Direct Sound, EASI, Multi-card 95/98 & Multi-card NT (up to 3 in a system), Gigasampler, Mac Sound Manager and Mac ASIO. Minimum System Requirements for PC: Windows 95, 98 or NT; Pentium 200 MMX; 64 MB Minimum System Requirements for Mac: G4, G3 or G3 accelerator; 128 MB RAM for 96kHz operation; 96 MB RAM for 48kHz operation.

The Delta DiO 2496 Optical and Coaxial S/PDIF inputs and outputs give you the highest quality digital I/O available- up to 24bit data width and any sampling rate from 8kHz to 96kHz. Record a digital audio signal from your DAT, MiniDisc, CD, or external A/D converter via one of the Delta DiO's S/PDIF inputs and output to both S/PDIF outputs. Monitor the inputs, or send the same or alternate mix to the DiO's 101dB S/N rated analog output. Control the routing with the Delta's comprehensive control panel software. 

The Delta DiO functions as a 2-input, 4-output card. The DiO accepts a stereo digital S/PDIF signal at one of its S/PDIF inputs at a time (the input is selected from the Delta Control Panel software). Output-wise, a stereo digital S/PDIF signal is always sent to both Coaxial and Optical S/PDIF outputs and another completely independent stereo stream is sent to the Delta DiO's analog outputs. 

Within the Delta DiO's PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer. Controlled by the included Delta Control Panel software, it may handle all of your routing needs, giving you extra control of all left, right, and stereo levels, in addition to control of pans, solos, and mutes.
