I've used the delta 66 for many years. I also own a delta 1010 LT.
Internally they both contain the ice 1712 chip (check out the ALSA
homepage for more info).
These cards work well with Alsa. It's been some months since I've tried
them out with a system including Pulseaudio (a standard sound system for
distros like "Ubuntu" and "Fedora"). Strangely enough, Pulseaudio was
not been working well with these cards (at least for a period of 1/2 a
year, when I was using it). I don't know if this has changed.
When it comes to sound quality, I wouldn't worry, unless you are
recording something really, really quiet, like insect sounds. These
cards are really high quality.

Which one should I get?
I know that the Delta 66 does not have MIDI, though
I already have a MIDISport 2x2.
I don't do any of the multi-track recording that
others on the list do. I just want to
send quality audio to my monitors, and transfer
analog recordings that I currently have to digital.
In the near future, I will want to record audio
with a microphone.
The break out box of the the Delta 66 seems like
it would help keep cable clutter to a minimum but
then the Audiophile 2496 is a new card isn't it,
and perhaps makes use of newer/better technology?
Thank you for listening to the naive questions.
