memo,
Try www.bayviewproaudio.com
Not sure about overseas, but they have the lowest prices on the Delta line I've seen -- in fact minutes ago I placed an order for a Delta 66 (the same as the 44 with the addition of S/PDIF I/O) for $229 US dollars

I may be wrong but when I looked under midiman on their site I couldn't find the delta44, I saw the 66 but no 44. Is it just me or they don't carry it?
AlChuck -
How did you get the Delta66 for $229? I was getting ready to purchase one and I saw your message, but the site advertises for $299.
So what other cards were you considering? Are you happy with the 66?

memo,
Hmm... I assumed that if they offered the Delta 66, they'd probably have the delta 44 as well. Why not ask them? If they stock M Audio stuff, I can't imagine a reason why they wouldn't be able to get the 44 as well.
MBusby,
Ooops, I'm sorry, hope I didn't get your saliva running too much with my typo. It was $299 indeed.
I won't know whether I'm happy with it until it arrives and I get it into the new DAW I'm building, hopefully over the weekend.
Other cards I considered -- practically everything -- came thiiiiis close to ordering an Echo Mona but decided to buy a compact Behringer mixer instead and a simpler, less expensive interface. It also solved my problem of how to listen to the Sound Blaster Live that I'm using as a synth/sampler along with digital audio tracks on the other card.

I actually called them and they don't carry the Delta44.
try www.midi-classics.com ($270) for the 44 and they've got some good deals on the Sonic Foundry Bundles too. (Delta44, Vegas Pro, XFX1, Siren - $400)

I got a Delta 66 from bayview a month ago and it went in without any problems on Athlon system and works fine right alongside a SB LIVE that i use for MIDI if that's any help. I guess i have about the same setup as ALCHUCK since i have the little behringer mixer, too.

memo,
The only real diff between the 44 and 66 is that the PCI card for the 44 has no S/PDIF i/o and the 66 does. Seems that for $20 difference it's probably nice to have even if right now you don't envision needing it. You might want to rent a DAT someday and do some field recording, for example -- with the digital i/o you can send it to the PC in the digital domain without converting to analog first.
trucker dave,
Just asked you a couple of questions in another thread that you mostly answered in this one... very encouraging to hear that you had no trouble with getting the Sound Blaster to coexist with the Delta 66. I am really jazzed and can't wait to get this system all together!
