While I think you're right that most of todays cards sound pretty good or acceptable. I was amazed at the world of difference in sound when I went from the SB Live card my pc came with to the Delta. It was a noticable improvement.
Ditto for me when I switched from the Soundblasyer Live card to the Midiman Audiophile. Noticable improvement. The SB live was a noticable improvement over the computer's stock sound card as well. The principle difference between the Audiophile and the Delta 44 is that the latter has 4 A/D inputs while the Audiophile has only two. Electronically, they are identical. I'd opt for the 44 though now if I had to do it over again, because it isn't that much more money.
There are technical comparisons available that can be easily found if you do a websearch. The Delta stuff consistently ranks near the top of the 2 to 3 hundred dollar cards.
