Topic: Which RME PCIe card for my particular needs?

I'm not writing/producing music on this particular system, so my needs are fairly simple.

Output - bypassing USB, so want to feed my standalone DAC via either spdif or optical directly from the PCIe card breakout cable.

Input - I want to connect phono stage output to PCIe breakout cable input via stereo RCA cable, to make high quality vinyl rips.

Should I get something like the RME HDSPe AIO, or an different/older card? I do want the A/D converters to be high quality, so it's a concern if it's lesser on older cards.

Thanks!

AIO would be the best. But you still need an Phono preamp.

I have the phono pre already. Thanks!
