[Re: [linux-audio-user] building the dream Linux music box]

[D R Holsbeck]

I have both, RME HDSP and a Delta 1010. Both work well with Ardour, or
any Linux program so far. It boils down to how many channels do you
need? If you can get by on 8 a Delta will do. If you need more go for
the RME. Personally I started with a Delta 1010. Then bought 2 more,
added 3 1010ai boxes, and hooked them up to an RME HDSP Digiface. I now
have a pci and cardbus interface for the RME Digiface, which makes it a
very versatile system.

If your intrerested in RME equipment check out www.sfb.net, they have
great pricing. They also stand behind there products. I was having
problems with my cardbus interface, so I sent it back to them. They are
replacing it with a new one, even though they could not find anyhting
wrong with it.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre
minds.

They laughed at Einstein.  They laughed at the Wright Brothers.  But
they
also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
