I don't understand why so many people try to do everything in
their
power to avoid getting a Delta card...

They've probably never heard of a Delta card unless they are an
audio
geek. Popular review sites like X-bit Labs, [H]ardOCP, Anandtech,
Tom's Hardware and others are going to have review a card like that
before it becomes mainstream.

Why not tell us about the Delta card. How much does it cost? Does it
fit entirely inside the computer case? Does it have mike inputs?
Etc. etc.

I couldn't find a reference to it.

"Delta card" would no doubt be reference to M-Audio's Delta series of audio
interfaces. They range from the audiophile 24/96 to the Delta 1010. There is
at least one that doesn't fit entirely in a standard desktop case, and a
bunch that do. At least two have real mic inputs.

It's an 18 bit card that you can probably get for $20. I sure as hell
wouldn't pay more than that. It's a good consumer card. Just "good".

I have one that I could never use, no ASIO driver (except ASIO4ALL),
and serious latency problems.

What is this love fest with Deltas?

Dunno, but when someone gets so 'exclusive' about one sound card it starts
to sound like and insecurity complex.

Lately, apparently there's been some "issues" with technical support
from M-Audio. That's not to love if you're having problems (and
believe it or not, some people actualy DO have problems getting Delta
cards to work).

I have a perception that people are looking high and low for a
reasonably priced, really good sound card, and they somehow seem
to miss Delta. I'm not suggesting that they are the only card out
there, but for certain combinations of requirements and budget,
they really are the best choice. And every time the subject comes up,
it seems that nobody has ever heard of them.

Fair enough. I built my music workstation around Audio, not vice versa.

Not much help is your audio isn't working right.

An acquaintance of mine bought TWO Delta 1010s and ended up with so many
problems he got rid of them.

So milages do vary....

Yep. We got a couple of 1010s and in order to get them to play
nicely together, we have to clock them externally with a decent
clock (using the one in a MOTU MIDI device; not great, but not bad
either). There was some history of problems using more than one
card a while back.

The ones I love are those who've set their heart on a top-range
Audigy. They come in here for confirmation and get told the truth.
But you just KNOW they're going to buy it anyway :-)

heh heh, was kinda lookin at em myself. What is the truth please? Thanks
