What technical specifications motivated your choice?
6in/6out + firewire + reputation + the presonus preamps mobilitla TOTAL compabilit with OS X (CoreAudio driver =)
For what purpose?
home studio + live (background effect on free jazz musicians) + dj set
What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Powerbook G4 1GHz, 768 MB RAM, 60GB internal HD, 250GB LaCie external hd ...
Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?
I just have (since 2 hours) I just test the headphone output + hand out
Update:
I try with my mixer, there is no problem it sounds clean trs, trs clear (crystal)

for the note, I put 9 because I would have appreciated two more out

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
- The configuration gnrale is easy?
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I do not understand the interest of the question;)
in fact there is no installation do except to open the box and plug
software that comes with its very simple and effective
I sometimes have problems with small digital performer to click ... but hey we're going in the "hardware of the soft" and AC off again (update, I have this little problem but I do not know why ... )

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
so far no problem
What software do you use most often?
Digital Performer + NI KOMPLETE REASON2 +, 5 + see my personal details ...
- What you get lag?
the mixing software makes this unnecessary issue ... I work on dp with latency as the most soft mix can have no latency. like that is more stable
> (Update) I tried to live config type on traktor out1 / 2, absynth> OUT3 / 4, Spektral Delay> 5 / 6 (its output enable me to have separate output on my table and So to be able to manage the send on my table (Berhinger UB1002) to send in my KAOSS PAD 2.
and I put my microphone in between two that will direct Spektral Delay.
I put it trs stable 9ms latency for Spektral Delay and absynth. you do not feel the latency (theoretically have the feeling from ... 12)
it is a good config for live and improv
- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
the most I've done it four recording (I have no machine spdif)

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
2semaines

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
the sound quality is really good, trs clear (I used the sound card in my powerbook)
I rediscover my discography
all in a preamp with TRS in good order.
at least for now, I see it (the number of tracks in and out but given the budget ...)
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
just the sound card in my powerbook
- How do you report qualitprix?
bah it's a bit expensive because I know that in six months ... but hey if you think all the time like this ...
Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
I think so. trs's really effective, you can unplug warm without problem and I spend my g5 g4 without my driver install (everything is in the ger core audio Mac OS X Panther)
anyway just for the hand out to listen, it's really better than the sound card apple (macusers message to inside)
the possibilities of routing, as many sound cards but hey it really works effectively and the quality of its own is trs, trs clear> what comes in = what comes out
I put 9 for the price because it still hurts and that in six months ... but ...
