Greetings:
eBay lists a number of these cards for sale, some with pretty good
prices. However, I do have a couple questions before laying out the dinero:
Is the Omni breakout box just as usable under Linux as the regular
4x4 box ?
I use the omni i/o with my delta66 with out any issues. I don't think
the sound card really knows the difference between the 4x4 box and the
omni i/o. I don't use the s/pdif at all. I only got the 66 with the omni
i/o because at the time sweetwater had a deal on the package that was
cheaper than buying the 44 and the omni i/o separately.
As someone else already said, their is no midi on these cards.
I'm also in the market for a new mobo, but I
can't break the bank on
it. I'm currently using an 800 MHz Duron CPU: what would be a suggested
upgrade for a Delta 66-based studio, especially WRT the CPU ?
I'm using an asus a7v8x w/ athlon XP 2800+. It runs a bit hot, but is
plenty of CPU for my uses.
