What is better: PCI soundcard or Delfina?

[Flashlab]

Now that I have PCI should I exchange my Delfina Lite for a Soundblaster PCI? What are the pro and cons?

[Flashlab]

Next in line is Ariadne versus Realtek8029? Again which performs better?

i have a 1200t plus medsx, with a sound blaster128,using mdplayer,connected to my suround sound hifi no problems,
it produces a great sound :-)

Delfina produces great sound, too. Delfina doesn't drag too much on the system, which I like. I have not yet tried a PCI soundcard to compare? How does using a PCI sound card affect system resources and overall responsiveness?

I like Delfina's sound better and it also plays mp3 files with it's DSP instead of CPU. So keep the Delfina.

I'd pick Realtek instead of Ariadne though.
