In fact, the design philosophies of these systems differ considerably since SunRize themselves designed the AD1012, and had it mostly underway when they discovered us and our board. We were going for the professional market from the beginning, and based our efforts on the systems already in use on other computers (not the designs but the types of hardware available). There are some good articles on computer audio in the Computer Music Journal and the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society that provided guidance toward our design. We realize that the current design is too expensive for most amateur users. I am looking at a peripheral design now that will provide 16 bit audio for less cost. I don't know yet if I want it to record and playback or to be a playback only device. BTW, I, Don Kennedy, have been the person posting the articles about the sound boards. Keith is a good friend, a good "c" teacher, and handles my email on his account. Don Kennedy Audio Specialist Vision Quest Systems
