@Pictus Thanks for pointing me towards the RME - Fireface UCX II. I Spoke to two authorised shops and grilled them on my intentions setup ways, possible future expansion and such. One expert (At Scans Pro Audio Division - He is also a big music creator also, uses RME himself and other kit and...

So looks like the best options may be RME - HDSPe AIO Pro - If i can work out the cables setup and it covers what i need. Has a basic cable setup. Not sure it really offers all the options i'd like unsure. Presonus - 1810C - Good range of inputs and outputs - lacking Optical out mostly...

I've had a look a little at those also actually. But i wasnt 100% sure again a bit like the RME on the break out cable options. At the start i was 100% wanting a pcie add in card. But after loads of looking in to things and peoples replies on here it's making me think an external might well be...

PS i did a double check and i am actually using the UNi Xonar Drivers official page (maxedtech.com)

Ok, So i've started to make a list of features i could do with in the hope it helps pin something down. LoopBack XLR Inpurts + 48V phantom power Mic Gain needs to be more than 50db. The Rode NTG2 from a few boxes says that 50db you can't hear it so needs much more umph. USB3 or C for low...

Yea i know what you mean. I just start to find it tedious ha. With GPU's couple makes really. Look at the most expensive and generally you have the performance there haha! Obviously sometimes the premium is alot for like 5-10% extra performance but it's relativly easy to work things out. Same...

I'm struggling to get my head around this. These external boxes, being so cheap compared to some of the pcie cards? and offering similar or great quality? My brain just feels mushed. Theres so many of these boxes out there. Literally thousands by hundreds of makes. So the next train of thought...

So still thinking about this and mulling things over! So I can buy it for work so I do get a lot of savings by doing this on any option. The D2X was a 2008 card and dropped support I think around 2015 officially. My thoughts are again consumer grade card? AE-9? AND if it needs repalcing in 3-4...

Im sure i tried those drivers in the past and had some issues. So i think i may have reverted back. I mean when its fine the sound from the speakers and hd650's is really great. Your post is making me think i should explore it a bit more. And see if it was some sort of setting. Looks like...

I also think i read the EVGA NU is actually a USB bus conversion via Pcie - So bit unsure on that.. Yea RME sound very efficient, rock solid on the driver front too. Just trying to get my head around the price ha!

Hey everyone phill posted for me originally but ive signed up to reply. So i know there is the asio project but i dont think its as good? As i think its emulated etc. My thinking behind asio was its a standard and not an interpretation and differnt to a companies way of making drivers for their...
