Interesting. Did you perform or have sources for
measurements? Or is this a
technical limitation of USB MIDI? And if so, could you elaborate on that?
Thanks,

USB MIDI devices do cause too much jitter. Further to my RME's PCIe
MIDI, I use two TerraTec EWX 24/96 PCI cards, for MIDI only. Such a
TerraTec or any other simple stereo Envy24 card does cost around 30
EUR/USD at Ebay and does protect against too much MIDI jitter. For
serious MIDI work one hw interface anyway isn't enough.

I already have one of those super cheap MIDI USB devices, and in
addition to what Ralf is saying above, which I can't confirm or deny,
it's been nothing but trouble.
As for eBay, yeah, I noticed already yesterday that there are always a
bunch of the Delta 1010 for sale, but for big stuff like this, not
many sellers ship abroad, and I live in Europe.

Things popped off-list there for a bit, see above for some stuff Ralf
provided. I just started wondering if I could even use the 1010 if I
got that, since I'm not sure if I have any PCI ports at all. I have a
few express ports, but lspci only shows this about regular PCI:
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 92)
Not sure what that means. I have a firewire port though, maybe that is
actually the way I should be looking.
