Thank you. Are power-off pops a concern? I'm
going straight from card to amp.
Count me in as another fan of the m-audio PCI-based cards. I've used
the Delta 66, Delta 1010 and Audiophile2496. All have been whisper-quiet
and sound great, and work effortlessly under Linux.
As for the transient from power-cycling the PC, it's definitely worse for
the speakers than the amp. I always make sure my amp's volume is down and my
powered monitors are disconnected before I power-cycle the PC.
