"What characteristics have motivated your choice?"
The frequency response of 20à20k Hz
Two combo inputs on the front.
One input and one MIDI output.
The alim. 48v phantom.
The 192kHz converters. (Heavy Du!)
Compatibility with Windows 7 64bit.

"With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ..."
With a single microphone and my computer.

UTILIZATION

"The drivers are stable?"
Until I write these lines, I have not had a problem with drivers.

"What software do you use most often?"
Cubase.

"How many tracks you get record / playback simultaneously? ..."
The most I've done up to this point was about 8/9 tracks ...

"Are they often updated?"
So I do not know if they are updated often, but I know there's been three updates for windows 7 driver. "(Three or four I dunno.)

"What you get lag?"
Buffer with 512 I latency pretty good, but I stay the buffer.

GETTING STARTED

"The installation is done it without problems?"
Not a single problem, download, installing, it takes less than six minutes the latest version on the Steinberg site.

"The general configuration is easy?"
Absolutely easy! We choose the buffer size, and choose the sampling frequency.
(Min 44.1 / max 192kHz!)

"Have you experienced any incompatibilities?"
No one yet!

"The manual is clear and sufficient? .."
It is really clear, I do not know enough.
Because I still had some questions, except if I misread the manual .. ?

OVERALL OPINION

"How long have you use it?"
Since I have.

"Have you tried many other models before buying it?"
No, not much.

"What is so special that you like most and least?"
Latency. The other sound card I had, which was worse, was still a much better latency, no doubt.
After that, it is regrettable that it is the breath of the pre-amp that appears discreetly before the three quarters in the knob, and you can not miss it, dice it exceeds three quarters.
This does not mean that the pre-amps are EXCELLENT!
Without the problem of breath, it was really beautiful, but I is not to complain, do not forget the price. ;)
I love + is everything else (headroom preamp, really good converters, that it is robust hence its metal chassis. And also, the fact that it is quite small.

"How would you rate the quality / price?"
It is incredible, I was expecting something less good, but it exceeded my expectations!
9/10 for the Q / Price

"With experience, you do again this choice? ..."
Already, if someone is reading me whether to buy it or not, I have one thing to say to this person:
If you just money to buy you, DARK! If you have more than 500th, take up his new mid-range card. If you can not take you as the entry level, DARK this sound card!

A very good sound card, which for the moment has never disappointed me.
