i've also done many stereo recordings with this card, and the sound is very clean and transparent, and the card provides a decent amount of digital patchbay/routing options.cons: no surround support

perfect low cost card for high quality music (will not work magic on mp3s, but does have accurate reproduction of lossless audio).
