Jarno,
Thanks for the response. It seems like you’re saying that there are few audio cards that pre-process. But it seems there should be lots of them. If an audio card could be made with insane processing power, much the way a graphics card is, then perhaps that’s what lots of us are missing. In that sense it seems like you’re saying, they are similar to graphics cards in that they COULD lighten the load off the CPU by adding in processing power. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you. I realize most cards on the market are as you describe, but I’m talking about the potential to manufacture cards in such a way.
