and i want one because my sb128 suxx bigtime...


Not trying to scare you out of it, but check out this thread on the Delfina that was brought up a while ago here.

I was almost in the same boat as you (I have the Mediator and Z4 combo) and was fed up with mp3 lockups with the sb128.  I installed my Delfina onto the clockport of my Highway card in a Zorro 2 slot of the Z4 and all was okay until I installed DelfinaMPEG.device and started playing mp3's.  The Delfina gave me the 'famous' lockup and ceased to exist upon rebooting.

I sent my card back to the dealer I bought it from over 3 weeks ago now and still have yet to hear back what's going on with my card.

Hopefully(!) I simply got a defective card, but from the other problems people posted on the previous thread I'm a bit nervous about being too optimistic.

Also this thread about an MHI driver for Delfina for use with the program Streamer leaves a nervous feeling too, as it is claimed that Michael Henke has left the Amiga and will no longer be updating and fixing the bugs in DelfinaMPEG.device and it's corresponding MHI driver.

I would read those two threads and take my experience with the Delfina into consideration before plunking down the rather hefty sum of the Delfina's price tag.
