[time-nuts] Sound cards

[Eric Williams]

I've been using a Edirol FA-66, a firewire box with two balanced inputs 
plus four more unbalanced.  I think it can handle 192ks/24bit on 4 
channels.  A lot of hams use it for software defined radios, but I just 
know it has better sound, especially the lows, for playing MP3s compared 
to most sound cards and iPods.
