The front and rear panel of this sound card have motivated my choice, especially his feet and saw his buttons. Bus 4 and its connection back to match.
It was a different connected portable PCs as a hp zv5000, a Sony VAIO vpcF23, a Lenovo T420 And a t400 and the other fixes.seul Sony has had problems with.
Its use was reserved to the music production, recording and playback.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?
They say everything on this card. it depends mainly machinery behind, depending on the chipset driver reacts differently. But mostly here runs well except once or twice in 7 years the driver has undergone a cracking final and had to reinstall it with difficulty. It seems that this card does not like being transported, unplugged. Today she runs a home lenovo T420 i7, and the driver under XP32 really run well, no worries, FireWire can be disconnected and reconnected while playing (= power driver asio) and well rebuke the map almost instantly when it is reconnected. I saw this card reliability increase as a measure of the evolution of PC.

GETTING STARTED

The implementation is quite simple, especially since the release of the single driver package for all their cards under 64/32bit.
J-have kept the old package of drivers to keep the old version of cue MIX (interface on pc).

OVERALL OPINION

For 7 years I used-and all other cards that I have or have had is the only one that is perfect in every way a condition of not carrying around too much.
* What is so special that you like best?
Which produces the sound.
* The least?
S customer service is lost in the sticks in Texas red necks including transportation by ship across the Atlantic (maybe on a freighter Hungarian?) So have at least two months in case of failure, and do not rely on anything troubleshooting of their sav, has less to speak redneck. Seriously they are not always very responsive.
Otherwise info for some series of these cards would be worse than others, but it is a bit old (firmware that cracks for good and apparently also burn out the LCD screen of the card, which made micro crament ...)
With experience I will ever so this choice.
