Recommended card: AXYZ CNC router upgrade

I am looking for recommendations to upgrade the control of an AXYZ cnc router, currently configured with AMC004 + flash card and an rs-485 usb interface. I’m a longtime Linux user but 1st time CNC router owner. The cnc machine has AXYZ AXI stepper drivers and a e-trac X2C inverter driving an Elite spindle.

I’ve been reading a lot but before I go ahead and order, can anyone confirm that the 7i96s is a suitable controller card? Are there any Canadian suppliers for these cards?

Any other advice before ai get started would be greatly appreciated!

As a Canadian, I’ve always preferred buying from MesaUS. They typically use USPS/Canada Post for shipping, which is far more affordable than other carriers. However, today I did a quick search for their website and didn’t get any results. I'm unsure whether the site is temporarily down or if Mesa US has shut down operations altogether. John, the owner, has been an active and helpful member of this forum—hopefully he’ll chime in soon and clarify what's going on.
I don;t use step/dir cards in my projects but the 7i96 seems to be the most popular card for step/dir projects.
