| get the 44 if you're not planning on having any midi devices. but the audiophile will be better if you have any sort of midi device because it has 1 midi i/o. |

| M-Audio 1010LT is best bet if you can afford it! I have heard great things about this! Just bought mine off ebay brand new for �139... retail at �160 in the shops! A Banger bargin! |

I�ve just bought an EMU 0404 (US$80,00).
Good card, low latency (2ms on faster pc, 4ms if your pc isn�t so updated).
Has 1 in/out analog, and 1 in/out digital.
Doesn�t have Headphone outputs.
Has built-in digital effects (reverb, delays, etc), freeing your computer from those heavy vsts if you want (and if you like the onboard effects sound)... |

Thanx all you guys for the advice.
I'm gonna check also the EMU and 1010LT.;)
Until now I'm thinking to purchase Audiophile 192 because of the midi I/O. |

Have a look at this sound card test list http://www.pcavtech.com/soundcards/compare/
The Delta is in there and some others that might be of interest.
Click on the card and it will give you more details.
Hope it helps. |

I read to a lot of forums that EMU cards have enough problems and I'm little bit cautius...:conf: |

What kind of problems? Most people don�t know how to configure the software to work with the internal effects...
The Audiophile 192 has midi sync problems too (that was my another option, like you), a lot of people in the forums say that...
How much US$ you like do spend on your card? |

About 200-250$.And its true that most problems is about configuration. |

I�ve owned an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile... very professional (2 ins/4 outs analog)... Very good, almost zero latency, and it�s costing US$200,00 on Musicians Friend...

Anyway, it�s a headache choose a good sound card... :) |

dont check the EMU:whip: ...you dont need to...i had an 1820 and i can tell you that EMU have the worst sound card and support ever.after 1 year of waiting for some stable drivers they released 1.7 vers ...and after 2 weeks they post on forum that the 1.7 it's quite buggy so they advice emu owners to go back on 1.6...M Audio Delta 44 it's a good choice but you will need to buy an MIDI device<=>Audiophile 192 it is much more cheaper and everybody is/was giving only good reviews.:conf: |
