I use an M-Audio 24/96 and have had nothing but amazing results with it!

I had an E-mu card before that, and it actually caused me to have to re-format my harddrive . ****in E-mu; people either have no problems with them, or every problem in the world. Nobody has ever had a problem with M-Audio, that I can remember.

Kinda OT, but do you have to spend a heap more to get one with a digital in? I wanna go from my GT-8 using the digital out...

I've got an EMU 0404, never had a bit of trouble with it. It already comes with digital I/O too. $99

As for better sound, there's no question. A good sound card will make your recordings much cleaner and clearer sounding. I was using an Ensoniq AudioPCI (Soundblaster PCI 64) previously. My new recordings blow the others away in clarity and detail.
