kickz · 11th July 2006

can someone tell me their opinions on the RME Digi96/8 Pad. im thinkin about purchasing it. can u tell me ur thoughts on this compared to other interfaces or other RMEs in the price range.

RME 96/8 is the best sounding card of any manufacturer in the world for less than 500$ US .
Very solid drivers , 5 ms response on fx/vstis . No other sub 500$ card comes close .

kickz · 11th July 2006

wot does anyone think about the lynxone card. is the RME digi 96/8 pad rated better sounding.

kickz · 11th July 2006

and do u think it's worth saving a few more for the HDSP 9632 or is there not so much difference in quality? pls let me know im gettin a headache with cards and interfaces.

i pieced together a RME 9632 on a dual core AMD PC, 2gb corsair RAM running Nuendo.

incredible.

I have a RME Digi96 PST and it sound and converters are dated. I have replaced it with a EMU 1212M.. The Emu card converters blows the doors off the Now dated RME digi 96PAD or PST.

Get the 1212M (with) master grader convererts.You'll hear the difference immediatley.. Also, EMu now has very low latency drivers and very cool FX's that yoou can use in you DAW..

Lastly, the 1212M can be had for $199.99 these days...Boom..There it is..Game over..
P.s..If you really wan tthe RME Digi 96 ,I have a one that I'll let go for a very nice price..

anyone else wanna comment cos i really need to make a decision soon.

P. Rene · 13th July 2006

i would suggest the 9632, great company and solid drivers. Clean card where theirs no problems and the latency is par none.

kickz · 13th July 2006

the 9632 is jus above my budget. i wud b happy if i cud find it used anywhere. but i was lookin more towards the 96/8 digi pad. is this a good purchase n how does this compare to the 9632?

P. Rene · 13th July 2006

aye kickz try americanmusical.com, they have a payment plan and it works man worth every penny. With the 9632 it comes with 2 analog ins, 8 channel adat, midi, spdif. Also its expandable with the i/0 cards from rme and 16 more channels with the add-on. Also you can mix and match rme cards to your liking also. Ive been to a few setups where 2 9652's or 2 9632's workin beautiful in sync with no problems.

kickz · 13th July 2006

P. Rene · 13th July 2006

kickz · 14th July 2006

Dude there is nothing that comes even close to RME in my opinion.Save yourself time and money and go get the RME card.Germans know how to make them

kickz · 18th July 2006

what about the outdated drivers on the rme 96/8 pad? would this affect ur choice?

freshmints · 18th July 2006

What is a outdated driver?

Big Ale · 18th July 2006

Lynx 2 and l22 all the way sounds more non digital to me

kickz · 18th July 2006

so would any one else agree that i should opt for the rme digi96/8 pad over the emu 1212m or any other card in that price range?

Start ur votes pls

No... At least it is no longer manufactured. And there will not be 64-bit-drivers. The 9632 may a better choice, if it's within your budget...
