i think this is the closest section we have, to post this sort of question. i'm looking for a nice 2-channel playback card for my everyday computer. i have a delta1010 and i've always been pleased with referencing results, so i figured the M-Audio 2496 might be a good choice

anything else i should be looking at? i'm not looking for anything feature heavy, so price is probably not an issue.
