I have actually.  I'm thinking that i could get *fantastic* quality out of a

RME MADI and that multichannel converter they have. However, the inputs and 64

channels ^o.0^ is overkill.

If i get a good pci card and are therefore doing the D/A conversion in the box

how much do i need to worry about electrical isolation and noise and all that?
Frankly i think we audiophiles can be full of it.  I have a ultra quiet system

(scythe brand fans) and even using the on board sound, putting my ear right

against the tweeter  (a micro-thin cylinder tweeter) and turning up the amp

and  sound mixer to max  i can't hear a *thing*. No fan noise, no hum.

Nothing.
Thanks folks.
