    Sorry, but if you need use this soundcard, you need another card for the input, because this card doesn’t support 192 kHz input, only for output.

    Then you can’t use for BBP Asio, only for Broadcast version for output.

    Best regards!

    and why you need 192kHz at input ?

    because ASIO opens the soundcard at whatever that maximum rate for input/output is, which is 96kHz. so you can’t use ASIO at 192kHz. I’m only repeating what was said, but it’s true.

    Thanks JesseG, I think the soundcard can runs only at one clock frequency, then if you need use 192 kHz for Output, you need 192 kHz on input. It’s right?

    That’s how ASIO works, but you should be able to use Kernel Streaming (or Wave or DirectX) at different samplerates for input and output.

    So the X version of this soundcard which has an 24-bit/192 KHz AD converter should work with Breakaway Asio?

    You should consult with the manufacturer of the card, to find out if it’s capable of 192kHz sampling rate via ASIO. I would say yes, but it’s always best to find out for sure from the source before making a purchase.

    On a side note…

    That is cheaper than the card you’re referencing, and the output is DC straight, so you don’t need to do any low-frequency tilt calibration. Generally you’ll be able to squeeze a slight bit more modulation out of it without over-modulating. There still isn’t 64bit drivers for it yet, but the Seraph cards just got 64bit drivers a few weeks ago (!!!) so it’s only a matter of time now. Hopefully a short amount of time. hehe.
