For Sale: E-MU 1616M PCI 24-bit/192kHz Sound System

[W1CEG]

I have a E-MU 1616M PCI Sound System that I used during the development of PowerSDR/IF Stage and there after.  I used this sound system in conjunction with an LP-PAN, TS-870S, and TS-950SDX.  I recently removed this card, and can no longer use it since I no longer own a PC.  I now do all of my development and work on Mac.

The card and unit are like new (as I hope you can see in the attached picture).  This is a high end sound system supporting 24-bit/192kHz.  The system also allows for routing of input and output channels in just about any configuration you’d like.  This is helpful when you need to route audio to and from multiple applications at a time.

The Creative Labs only have drivers for Windows XP, Vista and 2008 (I ran it on 2008).  This card is no longer made, so it appears they haven’t made a Windows 7 and newer driver for it, but it is pretty much a top of the line setup if you have an older PC you want to use in your shack.  I have heard mixed things about people getting it working in newer versions of Windows, so your mileage will vary if you try that.

I am asking $120 for the entire setup (FREE shipping), and I will only ship to U.S. addresses.

Here is some additional information on the sound system:
