I just had my _second_ M-Audio Delta 1010 go on the fritz after
two-three years of great performance.  I understand this great
design is executed with marginal components.  On top of that,
M-Audio support for Linux users is non-existant in my personal
experience.  My third card will not be an M-Audio product and,
due to my economic circumstances, far less capable.  I'd like
to keep the ADACs outside the computer case.  Can anyone
recommend something from many years of personal satisfaction?
