Quoting Ivan K <ivan_521521(a)yahoo.com>om>:
Which one should I get?
The break out box of the the Delta 66 seems like
it would help keep cable clutter to a minimum but
then the Audiophile 2496 is a new card isn't it,
and perhaps makes use of newer/better technology?
The Audiophile 2496 isn't new, it's at least nine years old ("The Best
Sound Card of the Year" in 2001.

I guess they're both considered good quality so I'd choose the one
most suitable for my other needs.
