Here is a strip perfect quality German-made, number of inputs and outputs, good grip, ASIO, design, class A preamp and for the price ... ... Yet I can understand that the USB 1.1, the only input XLR and the lack of MIDI can remove more than one but for me it has everything a great and good enough for me.

UTILIZATION

Installation without problems, no conflict, UTRA configuration simple ... just run the application of the ASIO drivers unplug replug and voila ... you're done. I stay on Windows XP for stability and for the nonexistent drivers on VISTA (if it costs 60 euros for pilots ASIOFORALL)

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable but .... update

OVERALL OPINION

Value / unbeatable price .... you will not find on the market for better quality converters and class A preamp at this price!

I would do without a doubt the choice ....
