I've been using a Delta 44 for many many years though since moving more and more to laptop it's no longer possible so I've moved to Firewire. Not this card though, got a Roland FA-66 which works good but gives a bit much latency, and a Presonus firestudio project which I use mostly live.

Another thing is that I find the cabling for firewire (and probably USB) a real nuisance, especially since the firewire stack used by jack does NOT like it when the device is disconnected.

Hello Ben,

Not anymore, I switched to USB. But I've used one for a couple of years
and I've also used the 24.

Sorry to go off on a tangent but is USB comparable in performance to firewire under linux now? Latency? Number of channels? Mostly I'm asking about latency.

Regards,

Robert
