DISC ESI Juli@ PCI Audio Interface

Full Description

Exceptional Audio Quality

The ESI Juli@ PCI Audio interface provides 24-bit/192kHz coaxial digital I/O and a 24-bit/96 kHz optical output for exceptional audio quality and performance value. The impressive sample rate helps to deliver the best possible audio quality retaining every nuance of the original audio and signal. The unit also comes complete with high-quality audio drivers to compliment the hardware including ASIO and GSIF drivers. ASIO drivers are highly beneficial to those with low RAM or standard soundcards as it calculates the latency you may encounter and compensates for it to ensure the best possible latency and response.
