Best value:
Excellent
So I was looking for a sound card that works on any PC with any system (Windows, Mac, Linux) and so the fact that it is usb compatibility "usb-audio" and its correct price I was attracted to this map.
I use it for a little while, whether to listen, make small recordings, etc ... This is a good Swiss army knife.
Beware, it only works in 44.1 or 48kHz.
UTILIZATION
No need driver, this is the big advantage of the standard "usb-audio". Many speakers, microphones, usb, etc ... use this standard and it is very convenient. On Presonus stuff proposes to install, I've never used.
The real trick sucks on this card is the 2 inputs are necessary conditions in the pre-amps. So for example if you want to transplant an output console or another, it is not practical: should lower the master, etc ... or have a console which resets the output level at the micro level.
Linux, can use it with no problem Jack.
GETTING STARTED
You plug it waits a few seconds, and it works. On all the systems I've tested, no problem. No major problems. This is the only thing really top this card.
Otherwise it remains a material bin entry level anyway.
OVERALL OPINION
For two years, I would say.
It is very simple to use. It fulfilled its job. Too bad it is not possible to enter in at the line level.
The preamps are average, also converters (facing the RME or Echo, for example, are no photo).
It is a good value for money, but hey, it's worth it to take better if you can afford it.
I bought a parallel sound card Echo Audiofire 2 because I wanted more quality audio inputs without pre-amp, etc. ... It is more compact but less convenient (driver, power supply, etc ...) I keep the Presonus for its practicality.
