Re: Soundcard Advice Needed

I have a M-Audio Delta 1010. Some people have said that they have problems with it but I haven't. It has one s/pdif in and out. It has 8 in 8 out analog and really high quality DACs. It's obviously a PCI card and a breakout box with a 10 foot multipin to hook it up. It can do a host of other things, and you needn't worry about sampling rates, it can handle them very well, it automatically figures out what sample rate you're outputing at and adjusts itself accordingly, so it outputs at the data's sample rate. It also has ASIO drivers. Anyways you can read up on it, and download the manual from the M-Audio site. From what I've heard, if you want better than that, there's RME, some of which has more digital I/O than the Delta 1010, and there's Apogee which also makes good soundcards. I picked up my Delta for 200$ used, and new I think they retailed somewhere around 750$, but you can definitely get them for less. Like you said, M-Audio makes decent cards, but there is better.
