Hmmm... It would be good to know, Arny but since I am not a dog, 2448 is
good enough for "moi".
96kHz is little hype for me, though I should be able to do an A/B testing
with my Sennheiser HD580 that claim 12Hz-39kHz. I won't go to an ear
specialist if can't hear a difference. :-)

Yes. the $209 at soundchaser is 2496. Do you know a place that is cheaper
(or is cheaper in general)?
Probably the $99 2448 was undercutting their earnings. :-)
Just a crazy theory. Or may the board for some aspect sucked! I heard from a
Linux dude who claimed the CMI DMA was acting erronously.
