I think the problem has been improved, but not eliminated.
Check the noise specs for Delta-66 vs Delta-1010 - the 1010
is several dB quieter.
That said, the 66 is pretty darn quiet in my pc.

However, besides the obvious portability
advantage of USB devices, there
is one other interesting feature of USB audio, which is to isolate the
A/D and D/A converters outside the generally noisy computer case, and
this can provide higher audio quality than an internal PCI device.
I don't think, this is really true anymore. This was true, when there
were cables running from the sound(blaster)card to the CD-Rom drive,
which acted like a kind of antenna to collect electrical noise and
induce it into the soundcard.
