I've also got a ds2416 ... bought it like 3 years ago. Do Not Buy This Card if you're in the market for a soundcard today. Firstly, it is no longer in production from Yamaha, so it won't be long before it's supported by the big audio software companys. Secondly, the latency is crap. Thirdly, now that computer processors are so powerful, you really don't need the onboard DSPs ... you can do everything in software. If you are looking to buy a new card, get a Hammerfall.

If you really think you still need a DS2416 ... search ebay ... you'll find them for cheap on there.
