I wonder if there's enough current to run the PCI card portion of
the Delta 1010 setup? The data converters are in a break-out box
in an audio rack. There isn't a whole lot on the PCI card, no
fans, and I don't even think any heat sinks. That might indicate
low power.

The review looks bad for audio cards. I guess there is an
onboard regulator that does not allow enough current :P So
the onboard reg would have to be bypassed and an external one
added.

Also, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158165
which has some customer reviews. Better price though.
Maybe I should try one? But, one reviewer's comment about the
card being so badly manufactured that it damaged his motherboard
makes me nervous.
Cheerio....
