All user reviews for the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192

Sound card with a very good report qualitprix, e / s SPDIF (high quality) between 2 & 2 Output Jack 6.35 (1 monitoring output and an output line) and finally 1 entry e & 1 midi output. The connection is very good, the finish of the card is rather pretty, and 6.35 is well Inrush.
I use it on a PC P4 3.6GHz, 2GB DDRII, P5ND2 cm Asus Sli, Cubase SE, Alesis Monitor One MKII & RA150.

USE

The connection is done very easily (the user manual says to imprativement install the drivers before the branch I do not respect what disai and yet it works wonderfully) .dropoff window A small dfault not the driver of the card is entirely in English which is a drawback for those lil trouble, otherwise the setup is quite simple. Manual issue, it was not entitled great explanation, but hey, its configuration is not very difficult.

IMPLEMENTATION

I use it for monitoring, the sound quality is to go, there is a good momentum and the converter are in good order. I also use it for my MPC1000 coupled between a compressor and a multi effect, the sound is to go, I have not experienced in quality loss. Regarding the South, I do not serve me, for against e / s spdif are of the same good quality.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 2 weeks, I repeat nothing, it's a very good sound card, easy to use and very well made. The price quality ratio is unbeatable in my opinion, it is good to not very expensive, so I will have the choice again I will do it without any hesitation.

Having previously purchased the Delta 44 that I found already qualitatively very good, I turned toward it because it has the ability to play sound encoded 24bit/192kHz.
M-Audio PCI card installed on a motherboard Gigabyte H55M, Intel i3 540 dual-core, 2GB RAM. Windows 7 32bit.

UTILIZATION

So I use to use 100% Hi-Fi connected Jack / RCA amp Denon PMA-2000AE, amplifying speakers Davis Cesar.
M-Audio is installed under Windows 7. The drivers are very stable. I put a buffer size of 512 samples.
Playback software is foobar2000 distributing data to the sound card via the WASAPI module to bypass its own Windows (resampling) treatment. I put a latency of 1030ms in software to compensate for minor problems occasional stall.

GETTING STARTED

Installation is-not-be-simpler. The latest drivers are easily downloadable on the French site of M-Audio.

OVERALL OPINION

The price of the opportunity now is frankly more than a bargain. In today's world where music is synonymous with e, listen to music from your PC has become commonplace. M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192 very advantageously replaces a CD player upscale. The sound definition is exemplary in all registers. The bass is strong, precise and deep. The stamps are warm.
We feel the difference in quality from a file from a CD to a classic edition Master file encoded 24bit and 96KHz, for example.
We think too little about what kind of solution for Hi-Fi was wrong.
Buying a DAC as an interface between the computer and hi-fi system is fully redundant with the M-Audio.
The real high quality for a cheap price.

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

I was looking for a sound card in PCI (once inserted into the PC you think about it more, no USB or FW connections ...) with some input / output, but mostly for monitoring outputs. The configuration of this card is exactly what I wanted.

For what purpose?

Home studio (some movies from time to time, but this is incidental).

What instruments or systems you use it? ...

Used with Samplitude Pro Suite X in a PC on steroids (I use a lot of vsti, some very heavy with lots of audio processing to the mix).

What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / RAM / Disk, ...)?

CM: ASUS V-P8Z77
CPU: Intel I7 3770 (3.40 Ghz)
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance
SYS HDD: WD 500 GB
DD DATAS: 1 TB WD

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?

No problems with the drivers. I downloaded those present on the M-Audio website, because those supplied with the card are ageless! I'm running 64-bit Seven.

How often are updated?

I do not know ....

What software do you use most often?

Samplitude Pro X Suite with many vsti + Audition 3

What you get lag?

About 1 ms

How many tracks do you manage to record / play simultaneously?

I do not do multi-track recording in real time, so ...

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problem?

Too easy! I had already installed the drivers prior to receiving the card (see above). I simply inserted the card into the PCI slot and that's all folks! No installation on Seven, it's pure plug and play, unlike xp or vista.

Have you encountered any incompatibilities?

No. Samplitude immediately took charge, as Kontakt and Hearing.

The general configuration is easy?

Few not be simpler. A simple panel for level I / O, monitoring and hardware (sample rate ...)

The manual is clear and sufficient?

Not read. Unnecessary.

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it?

About two days and this is happiness.

What is so special that you love the most, least?

The +
Input / output jack 6.35
Direct outputs monitoring
Very low latency
Ease of use
Price
Stability

The -
??? not yet found but it may come ... What I doubt it ...

Did you tried many other models before buying it?

no, this is my first "real" sound card

How would you rate the quality / price?

seen exceptional qualities of the beast

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Oh yes! without any hesitation!

This is the sound quality of this card and its main A / D converters and D / A that made me want to buy it as its very low latency when working at a high sampling rate.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are ok but I really regret the lack of reactivity of M-Audio because it will take long to have 64bit drivers while all the other manufacturers had already jumped the gun. Since the release of the 64bit version and nothing more, no update ...

GETTING STARTED

Implementation at the main problem was to find the PCI slot not sharing the same IRQ that the PCI Express bus from Windows 7 since we do not know forcing IRQ assignments (shame on the part of Microsoft). Apart from that if not no worries! all roll!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for quite some years and I am quite happy! Now I feel a bit limited by the number of available analog input but this is not the fault of the card it's just that I have become more demanding Anyway I highly recommend it!

I was looking for a card with economic drivers and ASIO2 GSIF2 with 2 audio inputs with good dynamics, without pre-amp (I'm already equipped) and 4 audio outputs (2 for 2 for monitoring and return of the VSTi in the card after surface treatment) with very low latency and 24bits/96Khz that is ultra stable ...
The Audiophile does it all perfectly! In 24/96 I have a latency of 1ms with ASIO2 drivers and buffer to 128.

Main PC: Intel PIV 3.0 GHz PC - 1GB RAM - ASUS P4R800V-Deluxe - 5 HDD (SATA and ATA 40 to 120 GB)

I use Cubase SX and Gigastudio 3 Orchestra and Plugins VSTi (Moog Modular, Atmosphere, Virtual Guitarist 2, Groove Agent 2, Xphraze, etc ...) and I save just one solo voice audio.

UTILIZATION

Installation nickel loaded with the latest drivers on the site.

No conflict at this time.

Panel config fairly practical and simple (but not beautiful!).

OK there is a manual brief but very clear ...

GETTING STARTED

Drivers very stable.

Drivers updated on the site.

Software used: Cubase SX and Gigastudio 3

1ms latency in 24/96 with the drivers and ASIO2 buffer to 128.

I have not been tested for maximum possible leads.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks and I'm happy for now!
His most are compatible ASIO2 GSIF2 and the two monitor outputs plus 2 audio outputs, low latency, stability, good dynamic.

I tested a few cards, but the quality / price ratio is at the top with this card, more M-Audio makes good market share, which gives us a sustainable monitoring and updates.

The only snag is idyllic: I had no CD in the box Reason Adapted and Live4 Lite instead of Live5 Lite ... But after an email, technical support sent me the CD of Reason and a registration card and informed me that the upgrade to Live5 Lite is on their site. SAV hat which confirms my good choice of M-Audio!

I would do this choice with his eyes closed!

What motivated me is the I / O symetrik with MIDI and all it offers and the quality but the M-Audio is the symetik +

use of a home studio with Pc Hp Pavilion a529.fr

I put him at the moment a microphone preamp and in my stereo, out soon in the monitor.

UTILIZATION

Nikel, just to follow the order shown in the manual (do not install the card before installation of drivers ..)

imcompatibilité not for my config

manual just for the installation after it going alone

GETTING STARTED

Very stable, not yet updated in a year
I use cubase sx 3
latency buffer 256 has really good, I must have the 6ms
no idea for the track I got a 20-track MIDI and audio mixing

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be a year that I
good quality, symetrik!
no model "good" before the card
price / quality ratio really good for what it offers

of course I do it again without hesitation that choice!

I use it mainly to listen to a stereo amplifier and speakers JMlab DB19. The PC is based on AMD 64 X2 6000, CM ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe, 2GB, Windows XP. I intend to use to connect a keyboard soon.

What motivated me, it is the user feedback Media and Internet ventent quality for the price and the brand recognition.

UTILIZATION

Installation without problem: However, I could fault a lack of documentation that came with the card and on the manufacturer's website, particularly in the settings program. I still poses many questions, no answers yet on several french forums ...

GETTING STARTED

Use to listen to I-tune for audio (for now) and DVBViewer for video (TV) is not a problem.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this card for several weeks.
Plus: The playback quality D / A's is the rendezvous, very clear and precise.
The least: How to optimize the use of the card in the absence of detailed documentation? I sometimes listen to crackling: while too high a level of output card, bug software (Driver, XP), how do you know? this does not diminish the quality of the card ...

I chose this card because of his conections jack, two jack inputs, its drivers and of course the price asio

I use it for his guitar prisises through the preamp of a mixing desk, and of course for its drivers asio.

I also can since its entry noon. I turned with all kinds of software live reaper, cantabile, ...

UTILIZATION

The instalation is a PCI may worry when not in ghabitude, great first for me. One can bizaorre, install the drivers, put the card and finish the installation, do not s'emeller and restart between each step

No inconsistency

the configuration is done from a panel that offers plenty of options but little tricks: XP users, download the drivers vsita. They run well and permettenet focntion more like something very, unwanted hear the output in general, the interface is pusi and more beautiful.

I did not need the manual for installing

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are very stable, never had any problems

no updates vista version if it is good to download even on xp

I use it for recording, in live, reaper, cantabile and other guests.

6ms latency in 48Hz, you can win more but it's aps nécésaire is imperceptible

Save simultaément can enter on the two separate tracks. no limits to the reading.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for two years plsu

+: Imperceptible latency, both direct recording to listen to a sound Treaty (guitar rig), the conections jack, the very practical aspect of the cables are easier to achieve than entries in the same card, drivers stable panel cong pleasant to use

-: No problem, that's all what I expected ... except that the PCI technology, unlike the USB allows more than two source simulatée, c'set damage to be limited.

I bought this card to 150 euro. it is truly a tool development, so yes very good value for money

With the experience if I had to buy a PCI card, I repredrai it, but for a sound card, pci to pc fixed limit. Sad is the day I will move to mobile containt ... So, if you think further, a USB may be more practical ...

Technical characteristics are very good: max recording of 192 kHz/24 bit (more than enough for a home studio), midi in / out, jacks 2 TRS input jacks and TRS outputs 4, SPDIF in / out

UTILIZATION

Installation without too much problem provided you follow the doc. THE DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED BEFORE PUTTING ON THE PORT PCI CARD

GETTING STARTED

Drivers super stable
Possible to update
I use Cubase SX3 with no conflicts
3ms latency of 2.5 ms input and output
18 tracks recorded with compressor, reverb and many others and has not planted a single
I'm very satisfied

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month
Before I tried Alesis and Mackie Onyx Satellite I/O2 but both planted with my config.
Level quality, I rediscovered my songs: better definition, more dynamic ....
Frankly, go ahead with his eyes closed!

The features are filled in below.
This card targets the Maoists who want a full map, stable and not too expensive. Sufficient connection to connect three guitars (one left and one in right, the latest in digital (I had the appropriate digital output on my pedals). Midi course and two pairs of outputs (monitor and speaker). All by jack, great for scratch ... unlike the little sister who had 24/96 as the RCA.

UTILIZATION

Installling extremely simple, whether on Mac or Linux PC. No conflict to this day. Configuration child as always with M audio.
The manual should be clear, I do not know I did not need to read it.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers very stable.
Most often used with Cubase, and a fairly low latency (10 ms to be comfortable)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for many years two, I like stability, simplicity, connectivity, its neutrality. I have owned this one before the 24/96 and the Emu 0404 (which had two major defects: a PatchMix clumsy, limited compatibility with other OS).
The value for money is more qu'impeccable I had bought € 190 at the time, it is in OCCAZ between 80 and 100 €, the price of a new 24/96 ... With the experience I referrer that choice if I had a set limit, but since my home has grown, it has more than enough inputs and I replaced it with a 101 FA to manage the three guitars and two synthesizers.

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

Its connectivity options suitable for the use I wanted to do, its simplicity.

For what purpose?

I use it for my home studio composed characters, or to run VST beats and when I jam with friends. I also used to watch movies, listen to itunes etc ... Finally, for all the sounds coming out of my pc ... what

What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

PC P4 2.3 GHz Dual Core 2GB Ram Windows XP

With which instruments or systems to use you? ...

I connect my speakers and my over RD700SX stagepass YAMAHA 500 output. I also used to register my rhodes output of a jazz chorus 120, and with lots of VST.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?

Yes, no particular problem ... updated once during the first install and basta.

They are often updated?

I have not done too much blunder, but in any case the site is well screwed SHIFT and installation is fast.

What software do you use most often?

Cubase SX3, Reason, Ableton Live

What you get lag?

5 ms on average

How many tracks you get to record / playback simultaneously? ...

I have not tried to push the beast back, knowing that it depends heavily on running VST and also PC. For the use I have, I have not had any slowdowns or cracking.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems?

No problem.

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

Not

The general configuration is easy?

Yes.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

1 and trivia.

What is so special that you like most and least?

The +: simple, inexpensive
The -: TFW lack of exits, but good for the price ...

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

No, not really. This is my first real sound card.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Bah ... find the same quality and even less connection, I'm interested ...

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

If I were in the same situation, yes. But I think my next card will be a portable firewire because I lack a little.

I got this as my first sound card for when I wanted to record at home. I used it to record my guitar and singing. I have a windows vista computer, it's a dell. It has a pretty fast double core processor and 2 gigabytes of ram. It has a CD drive as well. I use it with the ableton live recording program. It works very well and I am able to get pretty good recordings with it.

UTILIZATION

I had someone install it for me who works with computers. It only took them about 10 minutes to get it in the computer. It seemed to work perfectly, they didn't say there were any problems with it. There weren't any issues with compatibility with my recording program and this sound card. It is really easy to use - there isn't much to it. I never actually needed to use the manual because it's so easy to use. The manual was pretty thick though so I would say that the manual should be sufficient.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers for the sound card work very well and there are no problems so far. I don't know if they are often updated, but I have never had any problems so I never had to get different ones. I always use this with Ableton Live so you can tell it works really well with that program. I get really good latency, which means it doesn't lag behind a lot. I can record a couple tracks at the same time, but I only ever use one. It works great for that - just plug in your microphone and you can record.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using this for a couple of years. I like how easy it is to use and that it sounds very clear. I used to use a different sound card and it was not even close to being as clear sounding as this one. I haven't tried that many other models, but this one sounds very good to me for just a small home studio kind of thing to record myself. It was not that expensive compared to the other options, so I think it's a very good value. I would get it again if I had to choose another sound card, I have had no problem with it and it's so easy to use. It's a good buy!
