Value For Money :
Excellent
Fully compatible sound card and STABLE Linux, even in professional production.
It interfaces my DA and AD converters and this without any problems, linked to its powerful routing software HDSP mixer is a devilishly effective working tool
used with a PC station muscular (quadcore i7, 12g of ram under archlinux kernel PAE) and a mobile station from 2004 asus laptop W2PC aging but adequate (still under archlinux kernel RT).
UTILIZATION
Linux drivers and windows ultra stable, unshakeable even, it is also the reputation of the brand unanimous
I use it with Reaper and Ardour in professional production (editing and mastering label Ad Vitam) all under linux.
no update, but for what purpose? everything works perfectly ...
I have not tested the maximum number of track to play and record simultaneously, but in my daily use up to 1.5 ms latency I had no problem recording. I turn over around 8 ms for mastering (where latency is not a leading role) for safety only.
GETTING STARTED
no problem with the installation, under near-native and Archlinux AVlinux (you just install the software routing) and a small exe file under windows. RAS
This is a very complete sound card so you have some time to enjoy the possibility to hdspmixer routing.
No incompatibilities encountered the clock instead of RME is very stable jitter is almost non existent making it the ideal interface for driver prestigious converters.
Not read the manual ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for two years after he struggled with firewire interfaces with Linux. Since that day I forget it completely makes his job quietly and impeccably.
I blame him for just the lack of XLR connectors for its output table, the jack is a bit crappy .. but as I have my own converter monitoring is not a problem for me I only use digital outputs. But I say that in absolute terms.
The sound of the DA is not a model of neutrality (a bit dark), but it is very nice, though stamped with a good spatial.
Q / P? we are in the pro gear, it was worth the money, at all levels, stabilté performance and ergonomics. Far ahead of the Focusrite and Echoaudio I also owned (except the DA conversion quality that I really liked about echoaudio, but too capricious to walk)
