Rock solid unit

I have had this since 2000 and have NEVER had an issue with it. It's followed me through many computer and DAW upgrades starting WAAYY back with Win98.

This product needs another 5 STARS

I upgraded to the Delta 1010 from the Delta 1010lt (lower quality version of this card with no breakout box). For those who say that the 1010 is just a 1010lt with a fancy box for $400 more are MISTA... read more [+]KEN! The 1010 is MUCH higher quality than its lower quality cousin. For one, you get balanced, 1/4" input and outputs as opposed to unbalanced RCA connectors. Boo. Second, the converters in this thing SMOKE the 1010lt. Period. Don't get me wrong, the 1010lt is a great budget card and I highly recommend it for that purpose. But if you're going for quality and have the $ to spend, do the right thing. Get the Delta 1010. Happy shopping! close [-]

Delta 1010 Experience

by Allen Portman from Houston, Texas
July 15, 2007
Music Background: Musician and Audio Engineering
I have been running my Delta 1010 interface for probably close to 5 years now, and I have worked the literal poop out of it ever since day-one of purchase. As far as audio goes it is been rock solid. ... read more [+]I have not had such a positive experience with the midi on the 1010. I attempted to struggle with its stability on and off for about a year, but upgrades never did improve its stability. It is not big deal because what little midi do do I run it through an M-Audio Midi Sport 2X2, which has always been rock solid. For the money and the quality, I have never, no not one time, regretted purchasing the Delta 1010. close [-]

Still going...

by from
September 27, 2006
Music Background:
I purchased mine in 2000 and with the exception of two minor repairs (capacitor on the PCI card I think) it's been going strong ever since. In six years I have *never* had a driver-related crash runni... read more [+]ng Nuendo & Wavelab on XP.

A couple of small caveats:
1. Direct monitoring in Nuendo is a sketchy. Audio is not passed through the software. Apparently Not a problem for all users. No solution yet.
2. Using an internal SATA drive hosted by a SIL controller: Terrible clicks and pops will accompany audio on the 1010's inputs and outputs (the latter implies that audio going through the 1010's inputs will be recorded to your host software *with clicks and pops intact*). The solution is simply to make sure that the SATA controllers for your internal audio drive are not made by SIL.

If you're after a PCI solution, and if you can live with only 8 channels per box/card to a max of 32 channels (motherboard permitting) and a single stereo S/PDIF I/O per card then the 1010 could be just the ticket.

Consider that I bought it back then for TWICE what you'll pay today, and it was *still* a bargain... You can hardly go wrong.

Of course, YMMV.

Peace close [-]
