Hey, folks...


Looking for a little help - I'm reassembling my htpc from some pieces I have kicking around and am unsure as to which sound card will be better: I have a M-Audio Delta 410 and an Audiophile 24/96.


Any suggestions as to the pro's or con's of either card?



Thanks for the suggestions...

The big advantage of the 410 over the 24/96 is it's ability to output over 6 -or 8- analog channels.


If you're sending a digital signal over S/PDIF or are only interested in listening to analog sources in stereo, both cards are equivalent (they both have pretty good -but not bleeding edge- sound quality, can process a 44kHz or 48kHz signal with resampling, etc.).


Basically it all hinges on where you want dolby/dts processing to take place (on your pre-amp/receiver or within your HTPC)
