I recall that the DELQA is more "modern" and better i some way, are they
also more prone to failure?

No. From a reliability point of view, I've not heard that either should
be better or worse. However, the DEQNA is rather buggy in its general
performance.

  Side-by-side, the DELQA is quite a bit faster than the DEQNA, the
DELQA-YA ("Turbo DELQA") even more so.

  That said, the DELQA has a "DEQNA compatibility mode"...whether that
makes it as slow and/or buggy as the DEQNA, I don't know.
