For me this card is really very flexible:
Bcp output (10)
8analog 2numerique
4 entry: perfect for me.
2preamp.
be of good quality dac / adc 182khz/24bits!

For me the hardware configuration is perfect for my use.

UTILIZATION

Stable drivers:
Hmm ... I had problems with on different 3pc. I do not amerai this sound card for live.
Home about Windows 7, I lost my outings 1fois/jour average. I have to réinitilisé the windows driver.
To me this is the big downside of this card drivers.
The last update of March 2011. And it is far from perfect level stability at home.

I use most often guitar rig:
about 20ms of latency (limited by my CPU I think).

The sound is excellent.

Track simulatané nb:
@ 2 @ 192kHz 20ms in cubase.

0ms includes monitoring with DSP.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problem?
yes the installation goes well. attention on win xp, we can not plug the card hot ..

Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
Not really, I've always succeeded in getting it to work, but I've always had problem card not recognized / loss of output .. I do not know if it's because of MAUDIO preconnise firewire card with TI chipset and I've always had VIA: possible ...

The general configuration is easy?
The Panel DSP is very well thought out: I love it! You have to be a little advanced for any exploited the opportunity. Windows 7 manages oddly this card. Windows media player does not even work on my side when I activate 10sorties in windows.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Yes AC passes.

In short it is not really a plug and play card on my side. But when she walks, she does the job.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using ..... 3-4years now I think.

I had one before that the alesis (IO2).

What I love most: sound quality / of the sound / of preamp / monitoring 0latence / standalone mode / all the functionality for the price. Excelent report functionality & rendering quality / price

what I like least: the wayward drivers / not really plug and play (can be that it is the firewire who want ac) / outputs untimely loss of my PC (approx 1 time / date in windows)

Is what I do it again this choice: hmm .... the trick is that for that price, there is that the config which also suits me perfectly. If I avai a 200euros to be more, I do not think I will ever be the same choice (I'll take a motu qqchose or equivalent). If not for my use: home studiste casual earphone music everyday, I will ever be the same choice. I managed to make me his faults, and to take advantage of these qualities. Do not make this choice with your eyes closed, test it on your PC before buying it. Otherwise make sure you have a firewire chipset TexasInstrument.
