Before purchasing this card, think, ask Watchlist how long you intend to keep it. I do not own this card, but I have acquired a top studio isis (of the same manufacturer) and when we see the follow-up agreement is their product, it would be this: Jupiter Card became opsolette within two years.

Former owner of Isis, I also have two graphics cards Guillemot. I have all poses problems of instability, boot, non-recognition, conflict ... I have trouble swallowing the sauce "Guillemauve & Hercules" now offers a Firewire card for professional paces. I've been trying but I abstain forever, and I can only advise to forget this SHAMEFUL brand, and turn to the safe brands. I personally have an m-audio Firewire 410 and I prepared my first CD with now, no need to Apogee or RME PROSONUS or because the quality is more than enough, what matters is the musician and music! Only regret with the 410, it was cool to have 10 inputs 4 outputs because that really serves 10 outings, home studio, with...…

No problem during installation.
No problem of incompatibilits.
The manual is pretty clear and franais.

IMPLEMENTATION

Drivers are stable with my configuration.
I mainly use this card with Sony Acid Pro 6 and I am thrilled.
Latency is almost zero (PS: I like ASIO).
I admit never having test more than 2 tracks simultaneous recording.
The pramplis are not as bad as I had heard.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use this card for 2 years now.
What I like most: The simplicity the efficiency price.

The big downside of this card, it's food. Its power is well below what the card application to function properly. With pramplis branchs, 20 min from overheating diet. So I replaced with a universal laptop power (15 VDC, 3.5 A). From: happiness.

By consquent I have only give you advice: If you buy this card, change the power supply!
