About the Delta DiO 2496
The Delta DiO 2496 Optical and Coaxial S/PDIF inputs and outputs give you the
highest quality digital I/O available- up to 24bit data width and any sampling rate
from 8kHz to 96kHz.  Record a digital audio signal from your DAT, MiniDisc, CD,
or external A/D converter via one of the Delta DiO’s S/PDIF inputs and output to
both S/PDIF outputs.  Monitor the inputs, or send the same or alternate mix to the
DiO’s 101dB S/N rated analog output.  Control the routing with the Delta’s com-
prehensive control panel software.
The Delta DiO functions as a 2-input, 4-output card.  The DiO accepts a stereo dig-
ital S/PDIF signal at one of its S/PDIF inputs at a time (the input is selected from the
Delta Control Panel software).  Output-wise, a stereo digital S/PDIF signal is always
sent to both Coaxial and Optical S/PDIF outputs and another completely independ-
ent stereo stream is sent to the Delta DiO’s analog outputs.
Within the Delta DiO’s PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer.  Controlled by the
included Delta Control Panel software, it may handle all of your routing needs,
giving you extra control of all left, right, and stereo levels, in addition to control of
pans, solos, and mutes.
