Rosengren, check this out for a basic explanation:

Some of it is a little irrelevant when it comes to electronic music, but it should be helpful. 
  You believe in the users?
Yeah, sure. If I don't have a user, then who wrote me? |

My old Delta 1010 worked fine (always stuck Win98SE), no functionality problems, just not the best sounding thing around, but it was good value for money in 2002.

I had a 10/10 that didn't fail but like you say the sound was poor. I got Digi 002r before I got rid of it. Huge difference in sound.
I got an old Quattro for my office computer. I have to bash it sometimes to get rid of crackle sound. My mates one went the same way. Also had a MIDI sport 8x8. That got replaced quickly due to some problem. I can't remember what is was now. I must be getting old. |

Will you be able to run the Alpha as the master clock? |

yeah but I wouldn't want to clock it off an m-audio product. I 'm not a big fan of jitter.

The card is optional..you can use it as a standalone.

Just checked it out their site....their own card is quite expensive and you won't get no monitoring option.
Though I would be apprehensive about using the M-audio DAC for monitoring. Especially if with decent monitors.
But the Alpha link does look like a lot of bang for your money. |
