Hi!
I would like to ask your opinion - which audio card to choose. M-Audio Audiophile 2496, 192 or ESI Juli? The last 2 seems to be very comparable. M-Audio 2496 is 96KHz only but I am not sure anyone can distinguish 96 and 192 KHz DACs in blind tests. The advantage of ESI Juli is advertised Linux compatibility. M-Audio may work and may not, depending on system, linux distro and lack.
Anyone have experience with these cards? None of them is 5+1 or 7+1, but they will be used only for music playback and audio measurements anyway (on dual boot Linux/Win box).

Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).
