What sound card has imputs for “RCA” type plugs from my stereo or turntable?
Without a doubt the best sound card with RCA line level inputs and outputs for under $100 is the M-Audio Audiophile 2496. This is a PCI audio/midi interface card, extremely reliable, inexpensive for professional application quality. This card is a 24 bit 96 kHz compatible card with a good soft mixer and ASIO drivers. Connectivity – RCA L&R Inputs and Outputs, MIDI I/O, and RC A SPDIF Digital I/O. The cost is around $80-$90 or so new. A good on-line shop like Amazon should carry the card, however some other suggestions are audiomidi.com, zzounds.com and sweetwater.com, There is a desktop interface which is identical from the same company, M-Audio. I own 3 Audiophile 2496 cards, plus Lynx Technology and some other pro recording interfaces so I have adequate personal use with the unit to be able to make this recommendation. One last word, your operating system will need suitable drivers to install properly and M-Audio is one of the few companies to keep legacy sound card drivers up-to dat
