WhichPCI audio card for Mytek Stereo96 DAC ?

I have purchased Mytek Stereo96 DAC, and connected it to my MOTU UltraLite mk3 Hybrid .
I was totally blown away by the improvement this little Mytek DAC gave in sound quality .
But the dealer says that ít's much better to combine Mytek with a PCI audio card . He recommended RME HDSP 9632 .
Is that a good choice ?
Does it exist any better alernative ?

Strange M-Audio Card Sample Rate Issue

Hello, a few weeks ago I bought an M-Audio Delta 1010LT. I've got it in a box running Windows XP Professional using the latest drivers from the M-Audio site. For some reason, Windows Sounds, CD's and my ripped music (FLAC) all play back too fast when I set the card to a 44100kHz sample rate, but play back fine at a 48000kHz sample rate. This is exactly backwards of what it should be.
