[Elecraft] Best Audio Interfaces 2020?

[Don Wilhelm]

You do not need an exotic soundcard for digital modes, most any will do.
The big thing to pay attention to is the noise level, which may or may 
not be specified.

The soundcards reviewed at www.telepostinc.com is a good resource, but 
those listed are for panadapter purposes, and need a wide bandwidth.
That wide bandwidth is not required for digital modes, but if you have 
it, there is no harm done.

Many of the inexpensive USB soundcards will work fine for digital modes. 
  As I indicated, the noise floor will define which card is better, not 
the bandwidth.

Soundcards for digital use (but not panadapter) can be found in the $25 
and up price category.
