mbl,
The specs look impressive, but the real proof is in the pudding (how it sounds) as they say. The soundcard business is getting highly competitive and it seems like Creative Labs is looking seriously to compete in the high end audio recording specific area now. I'm eagerly looking forward to checking out the Extigy when I head for NAMM next week. Gotta go update my NAMM booth (don't miss it) list now - Scott
