    Thats a ESI Juli@ sound card. Its a dac and an adc. I use one to record lps to the computer and for playback of flac files from the computer. It can switch from either rca or trs input/output connections. Sounds good. Can do 24/192. It was that or the M-audio but this one is windows 7 compatable.
    Main system: Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 w/ Pioneer 42" plazma-> Polk LSiM 703 w/Tivo, Marantz tuner, BRPTT: Nothingham Spacedeck-> Pioneer PL L1000 linear arm-> Soundsmith DL 103R-> SUT->Bottlehead ErosDigital: I3 PC w/ Jriver playing flac -> Sonore Ultrarendu -> Twisted Pair Audio ESS 9028 w/ Mercury IVY Vinyl rips: ESI Juli@24/192-> i3 PC server
