AF1 or RME UFX (Windows 7 x64)

[hifitubes]

I'm trying to decide on a new transport. I need to be able to route 192kHz i/o with ASIO for signal monitoring (digital RIAA w/ VST in Wavelab, sonar, etc.) and I can't get a straight answer from anyone.

 

Weiss advised me to email Vintage King. I never heard back from Vintage King.

 

The Weiss is a bit cheaper, and is a dedicated transport. It uses only FW400 which means I would have to add a Siig (Texas Int.) PCI-Ex1 card.

 

The new RME unit has a lot of features I do not need; AD, DA, headphone output, and mic pres. It can use USB 2.0 (or 3.0) and FW400.

I'm leaning towards the Weiss unit given it's track record, aesthetic, and design as a dedicated transport. I assume I would be able to simply assign ASIO in/ASIO out in the audio app. of my choice.

 

thoughts?
