Yeh, I was looking at the Sound Blaster 128, but Elbox's website lists so many models and chipsets. Is there one Model/Chipset better than the others or are they all about the same?

I have a SB128 at the moment, but i think the Terratec 512i Digital (http://supporten.terratec.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1) would be better in sound. At least it's tested and reported to work with Mediator.

Yes, the Terratec 512i is much better than the old SB128

You can hear the difference in sound quality clearly if you got a good audio system hooked up

You can have as many soundcards as you like in an Amiga...just choose which one to use in AHI Prefs
The Delfina is best on an 68k Amiga since you have almost no CPU load at all when playing music files
I have a Delfina Lite myself but the sound quality isn't as good as on the Terratec 512i IMHO

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'll try and find some of the Terratec 512i's for the Mediator 4000Di's.
