Not current, Aopen stop making them in 03, but you can find them on Ebay every now and then, but I noticed the price has gone up on them.
Aopen made about three different versions of the board and just found out they made an AMD version of the board. The model I have has the SPDIF out put along with the tubes interconnect output. But the tubes output signal only routes through the interconnect outputs. It doesn’t do the analog to digital conversion to the SPDIF output. From what I heard from other people, the multicaps are of good quality, Aopen didn't go cheap on the tube audio parts. The Sovtek tube is standard on all boards. The signal source from the tube is a little weak, that’s why I had it going into another tube amp I had. The Cooler Master tube I/O was something new I found just last year, decided to throw this on since it matches my Media case. Hope you guys like the ideal of the setup. BTW, not running Windows, running a Linux OS to keep the PC speedy. The board has a special application that allows you to run you CD's without booting into the OS, So you can just utilize the CD drive as a player which is pretty cool. Makes it an interesting conversation for those who appreciate the tube and PC world.
