Pricewise, that's certainly not worth it. The Delta 1010LT is about
$200, and the DSP2000 is at least $450. You can buy a lot of really
good preamps with phantom power for under $250. Heck, I went ahead and
bought a Beringer Eurorack UB802 6 channel mixer for $50 because it
sounds clean and isn't much more expensive than the average preamp.

Hi listmembers,
Looking over the info here:

It looks as if the Delta 1010LT has 2 XLR inputs, whereas the Delta 1010
only has 1/4" jacks.

I have 1" condenser mics (AKG 3000B) which require phantom power. I
assume neither card provides it.
Correct. This is one of the reasons that I purchased an ST Audio
DSP2000 C-Port (same chipset as the Delta cards). The DSP2000 C-Port
has a pair of phantom powered XLR connectors with gain controls on the
front of the unit. Of course the other inputs are unbalanced consumer
level. There are always trade offs. Since buying the unit I've
purchased a number of tube mic preamps and compressors. If you plan on
doing this you might not need the mic preamps built in to the unit.
I've been very happy with the DSP2000 though.
