As for delta quality, I was first really upset when I was trying to record a sound from my synth. Setup was the following: synth -> headphones - sound was found synth -> delta66 -> headphones - muddy, without that specific detail that "made the sound" synth -> delta66 -> speakers - no that detail also I had Echo Indigo IO nearby and tried the following: synth -> indigo -> headphones - gotcha! the same sound i heard directly from the synth. I didn't thought the differences would be that obvious. Everything described is my personal experience and does not predend to be anything more. Regards, Dmitry. P.S. anyway, talent and hard work mean much more than hardware.
This isn't a fair comparison. As others have stated, the delta 66 doesn't have a headphone amp and the indigo does. You also don't mention what the indigo sounded like through the same active speakers as the delta. I really doubt there could be that much difference. The indigo is comparably priced to the delta (and lacks the delta's balanced I/Os, AFAICT).
