I just purchased a Delta 1010 8 analog in and out, stereo S/PDIF i/o
96kHz, 24bit. I mainly bought it because it is the only thing supported
in Mac OS X. I also have a Digidesign Digi001 w/ ProTools LE, which
I'm getting ready to put on eBay. Nice system for windows or mac, just
doesn't work on OS X.

Depends a lot on how much you want to spent, how many input and outputs
you want, etc. Some people say they can't tell a difference between
the various high end sample rates and bit depths, but to me there is
more spaciousness in the sound when I use high rates and depths.
