Well it looks like we are about to receive more much needed competition in the audiocard industry.

I know the link its from the Inquirer but they do have pictures plus since this will be unveiled at CeBit we'll have further details and confirmation soon.
In particular I love this feature:
What makes this sound card a bit special is the presence of a secondary music processor, which alows legal "ripping" of music you've bought onto regular MP3, WMAs and so on. The trick is called Analogue Loopback Transformation, or in technical terms, the redirection of outputs from a physical output to secondary audio processor which will then record the file in the format you want.
Although I'm sure RIAA will scream bloody murder about it since it exploits the analog hole and bypasses the DRM infection. I see it as a great feature allowing people that bought legal music online exert their Fair Use rights and transfer their purchased music on their medium of choice.
