All user reviews of 3/5 for the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96

This notice applies only to users of Macs.
I installed the delta audiophile on a 733 MHz G4 with 512MB of RAM and a disk of 40 GB
Apparently, the PC users are happy with this card trs.
It has good AD / DA converters, offering sound quality,
and all connectors Necessary for a good start (I / O midi and audio).

UTILIZATION

Hardware installation easy.
Manual clear, but provided little, not teaching for a penny.

GETTING STARTED

L o bt hurts is that if drivers for Mac OS 9 are not terrible, and those even worse for OSX
(It is still in beta version in 2004 !!!!!!!!!!)
I tested this card with all drivers, including drivers Multi.
None of them works perfectly. Latency, errors numriques and clipping are waiting for you.
Each driver earns one point he loses to another: the latest driver works best in audio Multi OS 9.2.2, but the South carrment disappears.
OSX, my sound is wasted taken half the time by a sort of weird interference.
Other Mac users have they encountered this problem?

OVERALL OPINION

Good qualitprix, but avoid any product prices on Mac ("/>
I just sell it a happy PCistes. Vade Retro M-Audio that stinks!

Intel Quad Core Q6600
Asus P5B map
2 GB RAM (XP limit, you will understand why I say it a bit below)

UTILIZATION

Installation dpend your OS!
Its configuration is very intuitive!

GETTING STARTED

I bought it in 2000 Pigale on the advice of a seller, it's silent era rcente!

I n'tait not specially interested in the sound, as my field work in essentially the MIDI ... and this card possde 2 excellent A / D converters, it is in its low latency (2 ms at 96 kHz) that my choice was the era t determinant.

I say the era because, although today it still performs the functions for which I bought Cubase SX stability, excellent latency, high quality audio outputs), the evolution sound cards and operating systems make dsormais deprecated its existence for at least two reasons empty:

- M AUDIO does not currently its compatibility with Windows Vista (even if it is not that great to run under Vista computer music). His latest driver, perfectly stable on XP SP2 that said, dates back at least a year!

- The addition of hardware (Ethernet, WiFi, USB ...) may cause instability of Systm (like your driver audio s'altre and without knowing why?)

In a résumé trs good map for those who remain under DSIR XP Pro and who intends to use the PC for music and start Age of Empires 3 from time to time, like me.

For others, forget it happened seven years which is much in computing, even music!

OVERALL OPINION

I never used to other models of this type before!

With the experience I would have made the same choice of the era!
Today I desert it certainly!
