I wonder if there's enough current to run the PCI card portion of the Delta 1010 setup? The data converters are in a break-out box in an audio rack. There isn't a whole lot on the PCI card, no fans, and I don't even think any heat sinks. That might indicate low power. > Better price though. Maybe I should try one? But, one reviewer's comment about the card being so badly manufactured that it damaged his motherboard makes me nervous.
