Hi, I've had similar hits and misses with USB audio solutions, as a general rule I now avoid them, for consumer use they are fine but for a more professional environment I've found they lack reliability.
In my opinion you're better off with an actual card. I will also echo having good results with m-audio delta stuff. The biggest difficulty that I've run into is with the M-Audio Delta 1010 (the one with the external rack mount breakout box). I've experienced capacitors going bad in the breakout boxes resulting in loss of audio and / or poor audio quality. In every one of these, after replacing the capacitors - everything has returned to full functionality. The Delta 44's and 66's don't experience this - their breakout boxes are just pass-through boxes if I recall correctly (it has been a while since I've had one of those apart). > > I'm not *opposed* to USB solutions, but have been bit in the past with > 24/7/365 operation reliability issues of USB devices, but maybe that is > a thing of the past... > > It seems to me there is a hole in the market for something more flexible > than on-board, yet not as expensive as ASI.
