i have been looking for a nice soundcard for my laptop for quite a while now (and all this time have hardly spent my cash, so more choices
![:smile:](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
). when the news came a few weeks ago, that noah was finally going to be released, i was quite excited because my budget did allow it. now, after some thinking, i cooled off a bit. yes, just adat out, only two devices loadable (i think), hence limited outputs, no up to date USB connection, (i'm not the most technical guy, but why not USB2.0?), still no news whether modular patches or 3rd party devices can be used.
i guess (hope) that noah will be really stable, but so is my old G3 + pulsar cards setup.
the more i think of it, the more i'm leaning towards the magma way again (was my first intention). if i take a pulsar1 card of my desktop, buy the magma and an additional Luna card, i'll have a more powerful and versatile system... and cheaper too, if i'm not mistaken.
jeeh, i'm glad i'm not an impulsive guy when it comes down to spending 1000+ € (it took me two years to finally buy a computer and soundcard, and still very happy with my choice). i'm gonna wait a bit longer, until there's more news regarding noah, but magma has my vote at the moment.
