Editorial Reviews:

Just a few years ago there was a big difference between the home studio, the project studio, and the pro studio. As technology has become more powerful and more affordable, the quality and features that used to be available only to pro studios have become more and more accessible to everyone. Today, a computer-based recording system with one or more Delta 1010s and the right software surpasses what have been considered "pro" systems.Sound quality, performance, and superior driver technology are a few of the reasons that the Delta 1010 has established worldwide recognition as a top choice in PCI-based digital audio solutions. With its superb engineering and ultra-high quality conversion, the fidelity of the Delta 1010 surpasses systems that cost many times more. The 1010 offers the professional performance required by today's most popular software programs, and provides you with features like 24-bit 96 kHz recording, zero latency hardware monitoring and digital mixing.

Summary: No Vista Driver
Comment: Hi, this soundcard perform well in windows xp , but m-audio do not provide any Vista driver , and there no plan to release it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice hardware, terrible drivers
Comment: I've owned the Delta 1010 for quite some time now and it basically boils down to this: Great hardware, terrible drivers. The XP drivers are missing some functionality that just about every other sound card supports (volume adjustment via IntelliType to name one example) and have a few other small issues. M-Audio also lacks Vista support of any kind, good luck finding so much as a beta driver. If you are looking to put this hardware in your Vista system then you will be severely disappointed when it fails to function. It will no doubt be many months before the first Vista drivers start showing up and they will more than likely be unstable (as they were when the original XP drivers came out some years ago).

Summary: Great Equipment with Quirks
Comment: This is a superb "upper end" "sound card" for PC audio enthusiasts. It produces great sound and works well with other applications. It does, however, have a few unloveable quirks about it.
The card itself fits into a normal PCI slot in your computer but there is no way to fit all of its outputs onto the back of a PC card. For that reason, this card has a dedicated cable which leads to a rack mounted breakout box where all other connections are made. The bundled software includes an electronic patch bay which makes cabling simpler than it could otherwise be. Once installed, it works well. Getting the thing installed is more difficult. It pays to read the directions.
The driver has to be installed before the card is put in. If it is not, the diagnostics will show everything fine but you will get no sound. Also, if you should have to do a major re-install of the operating system, you need to make sure the card is out. Otherwise the driver will install and work but then disappear after a reboot.
The documentation assumes a fair level of technical competence. If you are working at learning about digital audio, the docs are likely to be above your head. The are easily understandable now but that was not the case when I started.
It's a good box.
