Second hand! My recommendation would be Envy24, aka ice1712, usually
named 2496 or 24/96 too.

I used TerraTecs for audio and today I use them for MIDI only. I don't
know how the converters of the TerraTec compare to the M-Audio.

For MIDI this seems to be a good idea, for audio it's likely tricky to
sync the two cards.

Since I also own two Envy24 cards for MIDI, I must mention a minor
drawback. Since the MIDI ports of the two cards have the same name,
MIDI connections can't be saved and automatically restored, you need to
do it manually.
