Best value: Excellent
What characteristics have motivated your choice?
A complete resolution map which possesses a complete connection (RCA / Jack / ADAT / XLR / SPDIF) but not be in short supply for my type of use (ONLY 2XLR/jack level in mic). Otherwise, the preamps are worth being listened without a good map submitted REM. The 48V power supply, SPDIF, ADAT, the headphone are placed so as to be accessible rapidementen facade (always handy for migrants)

For what purpose?
I use it for my computer music but also just registered for the group (I use a card recess A / D complicate everything else came in). This card is not compatible ProTool recess, but enough (thank you god) has run a cubase which lends itself particularly well to the machine. Any other use is the madness of genius or else!

With what tools or systems you use it? ...
Korg 880 A / D

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?
This is where the bottom lies. Can we talk about driver for this kind of thing. I gave a VERY days and too many times to my system that my card working again as the first day. Hours of work lost or even killed by an inelegant click on the slopes. And we do not acknowledge ANY cubase since the app I've tested the defect was present! Map slap sometimes I do not know why and eventually cut. On the VAS after the creative is that I'm too stupid to make an update. So dear chouwap ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/a.play,u.77919.html ) I'm sorry to tell you but your opinion is worth no more than another (it works with me ... it's cool) because here is two people who now complain of this defect.

They are often updated?
Often updated would really move ... I would say often enough but not good corrections ^ ^

What latency you get?
And there, the map takes its interest: latency that descends on a between 3ms and 25ms when she was up and overused. And this is what we would see everywhere!

How many tracks do you manage to record / playback simultaneously? ...
Or 16 of his name I think. but let us not forget that the South could be useful (sorry, I do've never used this card)

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems?
In a rare simplicity, and very pleasant (I'm an every 3 months but ...)

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
I think the problem I encounter, and eltibosor ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/a.play,u.414555.html ) are due to incompabilités, but what? the issue remains unresolved. I am however in a reliable and clean but still have same problem has almost interval regulation that knows me so well spoil life and my zicoss.

The general configuration is easy?
To a person unaccustomed to hard digi patch, this phase may proved a little perieuse but quite surmountable as long as it gets stuck for some time. Personally, one hour tour of the configuration was a fact, so no big deal

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
A simple manual and clear, but as complete as we would like to see more often in Concur.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
Now two years, I would say 2months SAV, 1 month and re-install if all they are cummulative.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Connectivity and a wide and varied with large latency playing cards.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
RME Audio Fireface 800
DIGIDESIGN DIGI 001
YAMAHA DS2416
MOTU 1224

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
good if I find the solution to this snag. But if you're lucky enough not to be affected, the ratio Q / P is very good

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
No I do not think I lack all the same output regularly to quench the thirst of his during my zicoss recorded "live" (although I know there is the ADAT card) and still getting this famous problem of click or extinction
