Yes, what I meant was you seem to be using it more often and in more creative ways.

Ah, so you plan to use the analog outputs of the card straight to each amp, huh? I was thinking you were going to built another device with outboard DACs, etc... So will you be able to use x-overs in the software to get each sound card output to play it's intended range or is that going to be left up to a x-over in the amp? I know you want it in the PC, but will that sound card do that?

Hey, I found this guy Christian who seems to know a great deal about this subject and pointed him to your USB vs. Optical thread.
