Digital sounds cards of XP based PCs

["Wil Hershberger" <>]

I have a friend that is getting a new PC.  He is an excellent field
recordist and has been using an RDAT for some time and may be upgrading
to an HD based recorder soon.
The one question that we have is:  what is the state-of-the-art in
digital sound cards for an XP based PC?  It would need AES inputs as
well as inputs.  I am assuming that the newer HD based recorders are
using firewire or USB 2.0 to move data to the PC.
Thanks in advance,
Wil Hershberger
