[b]OVERALL OPINION[/b]

I've had a year I tried a good quality sound card, can evolve (ADAT) input output.
I combined with the Quad Mic RME from home and there for 1200 euros (the price of the 800) we are left with 6 high-quality preamps and 2 more identical high impedance input. In other words, more than enough for most home studio.
I think it was worth the money, and I do not change when I sold 100,000 albums and I would have a studio at home.
I would do this choice without a doubt; reliability, sound quality, format ...
One of the best sound card market in this price range ...
