Terratec EWX 24/96 High Resolution Sound Card
With the AudioSystem EWX 24/96 TerraTec breaks new ground in the soundcard market with a product utilising progressive 24Bit / 96kHz technology. You get the pleasure of uncompromised support for any audio software with ASIO 2.0, GSIF (GigaSampler) and DirectSound drivers. Thanks to the hardware design and the new 24Bit/96kHz converter technology, a signal to noise ratio of more than 100 dB/A is reached - satisfying the highest demands.
In addition to the analog stereo In and Outputs (cinch!) there is an optical digital In and Output (TOS link) for all standard formats up to 24Bit und 96kHz at your disposal. These operate without any sample rate conversion and thereby deliver a 1:1 (bit-true) perfect recording. And DTS or AC3 streams can also be transfered in the so-called non-audio mode over the digital Out from a software DVD- player to an external Dolby-Digital-receiver. The digital Input on the EWX 24/96 also allows itself to be configured so that a digital audio Out (TTL) from a CD drive can be connected.
