     Very likely. The DAC in sound cards tend to be inferior to the DACs in
home theatres, mostly because of the much larger amount of electrical noise
present in a typical PC.

     You will have to connect the monitor out from your tape player or radio
to the line in on your sound card.

     Yes. However, most motherboards only have a maximum of four onboard IDE
channels. To get more you will have to buy an EIDE card. Most PCI ones are
turly plug and play. TTYL
