    For best performance you should be using ASIO driver mode, not MME. Unfortunately ASIO only lets you use one driver at a time, that means either your Phonic or your Delta. Some manufacturers let you use two of the same cards with a single driver, I don't know if that's the case with the Delta.

    You should change recording bit depth to 24 bit but most people feel 44.1KHz is fine.

    Apparently yes you can do this with all M-Audio cards in the delta series.

    4 x to be exact, at least you could have 4 delta 1010's linked up (not sure if it was available with the 1010lt though), i believe it was the same with the 44's and 66's. although this changed if you were using the latest driver sometime during Windows 7 era where it no longer worked as expected with the new driver
