Best value: Excellent
See below, mine has 2 cards and an AES card extra entries!

UTILIZATION

What strikes at first sight, that is the primitive appearance of the console software, my god it's like on Atari 2600 ... But that matter, what matters that is that is intuitive, and even if DMX is not as intuitive that a Mackie DXB home, browse through the menus becomes fun after a little training.
The routing is done without problem once that was understood the philosophy of the beast! The use of different effects are carefree, and the touch screen is rather nice to are using. However there is some dark spots: the operator not at all clear, the Mackie Control fonxtion difficult to operate, an internal memory too limited, the faders a bit loud, snapshot backups on disk ... So many things that make the DMX starting to acknowledge his age.

SOUNDS

It is the console that Sony really is unveiled ... convertos quality is really great (to say what sonr the same as on the big console sony oxford), sound and breathing is very precise, it's nice to hear. The preamp base are also of high quality, because even if it does not make definitive catch for the new album of Celine Dion with, they can serve as a troubleshooting or additional preamp for a battery for example ... The effects (compressor and EQ) are quite nice, and pretty close to the Sonnox plugs actually ... The only criticism I will have to do the eq on that is that the screen is a little small to see precisely what one does, but hey that is a detail. Again do not expect a Manley Massive Passive on each track, we are talking about a simple fact eq taf its correction!

OVERALL OPINION

J 'uses this console for a few months. Before that I 'had the DXB (so much prettier but much more rotten), a TAC Bullet 28 / 8, as well as a mackie 1640 ... I have already worked on the Euphonix CS2000 and CS3000, Tascan DM3200 Yamaha DM2000 ... DMX is still al right now excellent value for money thanks to its unmatched sonic performance for the price argus. It is unfortunate look a little has-been with her floppy drive and its software from another age, but the fact is: it works and it sounds! What more?
In short I love this console, and I am not alone, I think DMX still has a bright future ahead of it ... It is such a shame that Sony has stopped making consoles pro ...
