Alex, using a Midiman Audiophile which has the same electronics as the Delta 44 but with only 2 inputs. It is an excellent card for the price and the sNr looks very nice on the scope and I hear a very minimal Noise floor with it. I only got it instead of the Delta 44 because the store I purchased it from did not have any Delta 44's in stock, ( I was impatient at that point ), but I could easily recommend either, with a nod to the Delta card. I can use Gigasampler fine with it the audiophile.

The advantage of the soundblaster is the abilty to reproduce soundfonts. I have both an SB live and the Midiman in the computer and I use the SB only for soundfont play / editing. The Audiophile is much cleaner and has a substantially lower noise floor.
