    Correct.  This is one of the reasons that I purchased an ST Audio

DSP2000 C-Port (same chipset as the Delta cards).  The DSP2000 C-Port

has a pair of phantom powered XLR connectors with gain controls on the

front of the unit.  Of course the other inputs are unbalanced consumer

level.  There are always trade offs.  Since buying the unit I've

purchased a number of tube mic preamps and compressors.  If you plan on

doing this you might not need the mic preamps built in to the unit.

I've been very happy with the DSP2000 though.
