1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing a
RME
product.
DIGI96
allows the recording of digital audio from
CD, DAT, sampler or other sources directly into your computer. The numerous unique features
and well thought-out configuration dialog puts the DIGI96 series at the very top of the range of
digital audio interface cards.
Drivers for Windows 95/98, Windows NT, BeOS and MacOS allow a problem-free, comfortable
and powerful usage on computer systems with PCI bus technology. Drivers for Linux are
available both as OSS and ALSA version. This wide choice of drivers makes the DIGI96 series
the most versatile cross platform digital audio card available, which may be used under all
major Operating Systems.
Our 'hi-performance' philosophy guarantees full system performance in all possible functions
not carried out by the driver (the computer´s CPU) but carried out by the DIGI96 series hard-
ware.
