Some points that influenced my choice:
USB-Connection
-Build quality (the metal case looks strong!)
-Compresseur/Limiteur Analog integrated
Midi Port
-Affordable
Compatibility-Windows7
-Aesthetics! (Little more!)
Computer configuration:
Packard Bell iMedia S1800
CPU Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5500 2x2.80 GHz

Controller-A-300PRO same brand
-Input: Korg Electribe MX 2x mono (Synchronized MIDI) Electric Guitar & Bass or mono
-Output: Marantz amplifier, 2.1 headset or Logitech Panasonic

UTILIZATION
This sound card is very reliable, I used a lot and often and is very stable! It also works well with DAWs (Live, Sonar) than the rest! (Windows Media Player, iTunes, Spotify, Last FM, Winamp, Firefox ...)
In terms of latency, reducing the buffer size I can play the guitar listening to me through several VST effects! Otherwise there is no latency direct listening with independent volume knob.
And the level of input (adjustable each input) is powerful!
GETTING STARTED
Installation is quick and simple instructions (English paper and pdf french) clear. I have encountered no problems and it took me five minutes.
