Huh. Seems to be a crazy amount of chroma noise on that last sample in the direct playback there. With the ES10, it seems to be adding a sort of screen door effect where there are very fine evenly...

You can get a firewire PCIe card that will work driverless in most modern tower PC's - some have better luck with VIA vs the TI chipsets though. If you're using a laptop, then the Firewire to...

Also following, I'm not sure I have a Mac around that has an old enough OS on it to try that with unfortunately.

Hmm. I wonder if the VC500's would last longer if you added active cooling and removed the outer case? Like how long does it take to burn one out? I've got one, but haven't tested it.

Drive time/gas involved is more likely to cost more than actually shipping it. I believe DiopterDoctor recaps the TBC-100 card inside and generally bypasses/removes the proc amp and may also run...
