Music professionals are uncompromising when it comes to the quality and performance of their audio cards. They don't just demand realism; they demand reality. The Audiophile 2496 can achieve this standard because it doesn't rely on gimmicks that compromise sound quality. It simply delivers true 24-bit paths, unequaled drivers and purely remarkable fidelity.

The Audiophile 2496 is an all-in-one high fidelity soundcard solution for a wide variety of applications, ranging from multitrack recording to computer-based home theatre. Analog I/O is available on RCA jacks, utilizing the same professional 24-bit, 96kHz conversion as the Delta 44 and Delta 66 cards. S/PDIF I/O and MIDI I/O provide connectivity to both digital devices, and the world of MIDI. You can also utilize the S/PDIF I/O for DVD surround sound playback with an external decoder. The Audiophile 2496 includes a powerful digital mixer/router, and control over SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). Delta Series cards support all computer platforms and major software programs.
