I asked this once last year...perhaps things have improved by now. Does anyone
know of a MacII card or other black box (scsi?) usable with a Mac that can
do sound digitization at CD rates? I'm thinking of about 40-50khz sample rate
with 14-16 bit samples. I need a board that both SAMPLES and PLAYS BACK at
that resolution (ie: has both D-A and A-D).
Also, if anyone has any suggestions on the best of the low-cost 8 bit digitizers
on the market, I would like to hear them.
Thanks!

If so, Digidesign has a plug in card that allows 16-bit 44.1kHz stereo sound playback called the Sound Accelerator, and a box which connects to the card that allows the same quality sampling called the AD IN. They also have one of (if not THE) best audio editing software packages called Sound Designer II. This stuff is not cheap though; the package described above carries a list price of $3285. The Sound Accelerator separately is $1295, the AD IN $995, and Sound Designer II is also $995.
