This isn't a fair comparison. As others have stated, the delta 66
doesn't have a headphone amp and the indigo does. You also don't
mention what the indigo sounded like through the same active speakers
as the delta.

I really doubt there could be that much difference. The indigo is
comparably priced to the delta (and lacks the delta's balanced I/Os,
AFAICT).
