Thanks in advance for replies

check thomann.de or musicstore.de ... plenty of nice hardware available there. yes you can get soundcards with xlr connections.. i have one sitting beside me. not quite sure why you need sampling rate higher than 192 though..

Maybe the Music Production forum may be more suited for your question?

hows your work with the xlr,is it left and right out

both are front panel XLR inputs (which can double as TRS inputs) .. supports input of guitars / mics etc with 48v phantom power.

my monitors are connected from the rear via balanced TRS > XLR cables.

what software are you using as a matter of interest?

software is for radio purpose,its called airomate,to generate rds

You've misread the specifications. I just googled for Airomate and read the first paragraph describing its specifications. The minimum for Airomate is 57kHz, so a 192kHz capable box is adequate. The whole point of Airomate is that it allows you to use a prosumer device to do a pro job. Anything above 192kHz is specialised, expensive test gear, dedicated mpx boxes etc.

There are lots of suitable interfaces out there, I would recommend RME. As recommended, Thomann is a good place to start looking.

EDIT: there's a list of recommended boxes on Diffusion's site:

echo audiofire interfaces are nice

thanks mad theory,sorry,im dyslex so i try my best at reading stuff,so,im gonna build a pc,into a 19inch rack case,i have harddrives and mother board in,ready too go,just drilling the case for side fans as it only has space for front and rear one.so,would you guys recommand an external one or pci,or usb one for what im doing,i guess u prob know what im gonna use it for,but its more for testing than regular use. im trying too make everything in the rack look very professional and nice looking,

PCI would be tidiest and the most reliable. This one is good:

Breakout cable is TRS. I would chop it and wire it into XLRs mounted on a 19" rack panel. That would look good and be reliable.

Have a look at the Marian Trace Alpha card. It's PCI, 192k and has balanced TRS connectors. Haven't used one for RDS as yet but did use one for the Breakaway Broadcast FM processor software and it's worked a treat. Might be a bit more expensive than maudio but worth the extra imho..
