When I bought an interface I chose the Delta1010 because of it's 
balanced I/O - leaving me free to upgrade my mic-pre's whenever I like.

RE the bigger picture;

A small 'fix' to my mixer (documented in it's manual) allowed the 4 mic 
pre's to be assigned to independent outs, thus leaving the 
tape-monitor/output section free for headphone amp duties (I also added 
external switching to route the playback/monitor to hifi, monitor or 
none - independent of the headphone).

Add to this the Envy chipset's zero-latency monitor, and I have the 
choice of low-latency 'wet' monitor, or higher latency 'dry' monitor.

I don't know your equipment, but this may be a useful setup for you 
(single headphone of course).
