[RWP] A good soundcard for a voice over talent?

Yeh, nothing's perfect for us, but this kind of thing offers the most 
flexibility and the least headaches.

I'm curious about the midas stuf, and the allen & heath zed r16.

since mackie changed their firewire chipset and the interface is no 
longer accessible.

But the only thing I ever needed to change in there was the latency setting.

If you still want to keep that card around, you could always go the route of finding a good preamp with sp/dif out, and slaving your Delta's clock to that, thereby not using the Delta's A/D section for input.
