The thing that's a complete showstopper on the

lack of balanced I/O. You gotta use Balanced I/O into and out of a

( http://www.mhsecure.com/technotes/v5MixerOverview/Telescoping_Shield.png ) unless you
like having your sound all fuzzed out by ground & clock noise from the computer. This
works well with the Delta 66 since it appears to have a reasonably well isolated analog
and digital ground-planes on the card...
But do bear in mind that the ins and outs on the break out box on the
Delta 44/66 are not balanced...
