Any thoughts on this as a DAC and ADC? Anyone used it?

Or use for its more musical applications?

Dates to 2004, but apparently will run under Win7.

I had an EMU 0404, but the external USB version, for 2 years as my primary DAC for my headphone setup. I really liked it, very clean and detailed sound. I remember purchasing it based on some positive reviews, which mentioned that it used the "AKM" AK4396 DAC which was, at least at the time, considered one of the best DAC chips money could buy.

I'm not sure if the PCIe card is the same, but just to throw my 2 cents in.
 
I used the PCI version for quite some time in my main system, and still use it in a secondary computer. Very nice DAC.
