First of all: Thanks a lot for the responses I got on the list and by PM. The links sent to me kept me busy some days ;-) I have received (very positive) reactions regarding M-Audio Delta 1010, but nowbody talked about RME Hammerfall cards. Is this just an accident or do this cards have any drawbacks (i.e. regarding Linux support) that I should know of? The combination of a PCI (DSP) card and the Hammerfall Multiface looks interesting to me. How is it running under Linux? One of the qualities that let's me consider it (beside M-Audio Delta 1010) is the possibility to use a loooong (firewire) cable, so I could put the (noisy) computer in another room to record low level acoustic stuff.
