I am a dj for a while computer music.
I started with a RME Multiface I then sold the Fireface 800 to move in the same brand.

Result of financial worries I sold my Fireface 800 and I started looking for an audio interface more modest in terms of functionality but would not make me lose audio quality (which I m'tais used to with products RME).

The TC Electronic Konnekt 24D has t read as quickly given the lodges that can be read on this board (review of SOS, Recording, etc.. And even Audiofanzine).
In short, a quality interface with great flexibility, a DSP and a price Intgr well thought out! I therefore launched since all I was looking CHARACTERISTICS taient runies in this product ...

UTILIZATION

Installation on Windows XP is no possible problem: it installs the drivers (for my part I directly put the latest 1.2.2 rcuprs on the official website), we branch card and everything works!

Well that part does the installation is nothing wrong for my part of the ct.

GETTING STARTED

Hey, is that the things are not right!

I knew, having traveled the forum Audiofanzine that many users encountered the problem of 'drop out' audio with this card (cuts its random image).
Unfortunately I did not screed ...

I run a simple audio file player and it's a catastrophe. The sound is hach ​​Fawn compltement random image. It works without any problem 5 minutes and all of a sudden he y 'sound interruptions every 10 sec ... then works again. Sometimes a compltement crashes and Windows no longer allows me to play audio files, only a reboot of the Konnekt Remde there but only a few minutes before another crash.

I try to change the Firewire port, I make a clean Reinstalling Windows XP, try the famous mode "Standard PC" instead of ACPI that seems correct this problem for a lot more but I trouble than anything else with all the configuration changes.

APRS short one week struggle to make it stable I gave up: I sold the card and I dbrouiller to keep the RME Fireface 800, which she never hesitates and whose drivers show a dveloppement copy from RME!

OVERALL OPINION

Finally I have a deep sense of gchis with this product.

The interface is beautiful, well thought, with good pramplis, the DSP's internal quality, high-flying audio converters, etc.. Ms. price trs honnte view of its services.

But the game has all drivers gcher ... In one week I have not run russian Fawn stable yet and I'm not a computer beginners. This card could approach the perfect product if TC Electronic leaned a little more about the drivers.

I do not want gnraliser well Obviously this is my own exprience with this product (which also works perfectly for the other) but that j'espre tr s soon as the software part will be the height of the hardware, which is far from being the case at the moment! Too bad because I will have preserved otherwise happy ...

Brief concludes: trs a nice interface high quality unfortunately served by more than mdiocres drivers (for now at least). Case continued ...
