I looked it up and yes I'm sure the 1024 is a Live 24 ... What you may want to consider is running the 1023 alongside the Delta 44 and use it as your main soundcard and also for any Digital Decoding software and keep the Delta 44 strictly for serious purposes
I plan on getting one myself when I'm ready for it (I'm homebrewing a couple of SDR designs) probably as an early Christmas present to myself ... I do some home recording also and need a good card again for that ... I had an Echo Darla but sold it because of lack of support for WinXP, which was a shame because it had nearly as good a dynamic range (98db) as the Delta 44 even though it only had 20 bit ADCs ...
