GETTING STARTED

Installation is it not working?
- Yes.

The general configuration is easy?
- When it works yes :-(

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
I explained that it was a recent installation (3 months), only for music, without unnecessary programs and ASIO4ALL works very well.
- The sound "hang" on a regular basis in Cubase.
- Same problem on Windows (so it's not a problem ASIO)
- Live does not even see the card.
- The S / PDIF on my Roland HP works, but not on my Behringer. For 7 years I have several cards with digital sounds, I never saw that!

The manual is clear and sufficient?
- Reminds me more ;-)

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
- 1 month.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
- Yes.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
+ Converters
- The drivers, what makes good converters unusable :-(

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
- It is not worth more than the price I paid (260 €) and is well below what I usually see.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
- No, I'll sell it, use ASIO4ALL (which works fine) and wait Babyface RME, RME is more expensive but, finally, I thought that too ... before Lexicon
