Is there a Tom's Hardware-like site out there that will compare these
3 main home-studio soundcard lines head-to-head?

I really can't decide between the three companies.

This nets out to a comparison of the LynxTWO versus the Layla 24 versus
the
Delta 1010, no?

That's also the order of pricing, from high to lower.

That's also the approximate order of technical quality from high to lower.

Looks very interesting on paper!

I'm not thrilled with the current trend of replacing two of the rear 1/4"
ins with front mounted xlr pre's. The m-audio firewire interfaces do the
same thing. It doesn't make it impossible to plug a snake into the thing,
just sloppy and weird, especially when patchbays are involved.

Doesn't anybody have other gear that they need to plug in, or are these
things still aimed at people who are starting fresh? All I want from a 1394
audio card are eight ins and outs on 1/4" jacks and the ability to daisy
chain the things. Simple, universal, and unavailable.

What about the Roland UA-1000 or the Presonus Firepod?

I have the Edirol/Roland UA-1000. For me, it works well and, since all the
IO that is on the front is replicated on the back, you can use a snake with
it.

The only drawback I have found is that the sample rate is a knob on the
front and can't be controlled with software. Additionally, changing the
sample rate with the knob requires a reboot of the unit (!?!?)

How does it perform in SONAR?

I use it in Sonar, Live, and other audio programs with no problems at all.
I have not tried to record all 8 inputs at once, but I have played back
through 8 different outputs with no issues.
They provide ASIO drivers so you can get the latency quite low.

You got it. Old customers aren't as valuable as new customers, and
most new customers want a place to plug in their one microphone (in
the front) and their synthesizers in the back where the wiring is out
of the way and can remain in place.

Doesn't MOTU have one or more boxes like that?
