Do not stop at the cosmetic side more than questionable ... it's ugly ... but we do not ask him to be nice

UTILIZATION

No problem with the installation of winXP.
Drivers stable (Asio4All) and simple.
No problem ... CubaseSX

No need for manual ... one branch and listen

GETTING STARTED

Using the card with CubaseSX and a pretty good config PC (core2duo) I shoot with a latency of about 7-8ms. It's small enough that it is not too annoying. I used an M-Audio Audiophile before which allowed me to go down to 3ms, but the sound is worse.

The sound just ...
Just listen to the music with this card is fun. I tested with Stereo speakers, powered speakers Alesis, a headphone and an Audio Technica Sennheiser. In all cases it is excellent!
The bass are well defined and deep, the treble and not aggressive, the stereo is very good, and the momentum is really perfect!
We can not stand to listen to MP3 with this card ... unless they really are encoded in high quality.
Compare this with an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 and the same monitoring system, the difference is obvious. Is any better ...

For the record now.
What about ... in fact it's the same principle. The dynamics are excellent, the serious present and well defined ... everything is good.
I'm a little reserved about the quality of the preamps. They are well made, but for use with a Rode NT1, I preferred to use my external preamp, an M-Audio DMP3. However, if you do not have those integrated preamp is very good, and much better than a preamp table Berhinger mix ...
We arrive at great results very quickly. The quality of the converters is undeniable.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year. To replace my audiophile24/96 who was good at her job.
In this price range, I could compare it with a TC Konnect 24D and RME. From my point of view, this card really has the best converters. To get an equal or better quality, go tap dedicated type converter RME ADI 2 for example. If not more expensive cards like MOTU to 1500 euros.
Really for the price, the quality is excellent.

For people who want high-quality converters with low input (can not save a battery with 10 microphones with the possibility ...), mobile as needed (check out, etc. ...), this card is excellent. The price / quality ratio is really good.

I would do this election ... I was looking for a simple map, with great audio quality. I have now.
