Feature:
As far as features go, what do you want? 16 ins and 16 outs (8x8 analogue, 8x8 digital). The outputs are very useful for creating auxilary sends for headphone monitors from your DAW software (I use Sonar XL 2.2) It really does one task--converts analogue to digital and back again--and it does that task well.
It is an AD/DA converter that they threw some MIDI ports on the back of, mostly for MMC Automation I would imagine, don't let the lack of MIDI ports bug you, you can spend $20-$50 for a USB MIDI expander and get all the ports you want.
Quality:
Very durable, no problems, they guy who says it get real hot, probably needs to leave some air gaps between his racked devices, it runs cooler than my PC box does most of the time, and much cooler than my PRE-AMPS. Very stable, hasn't crashed on me yet while operating under Windows XP. I occasionally have a problem with software not wanting to share the device outputs at the same time, this causes me to have to close both programs and then restart the one I need most. Most of the time, this is not a problem, just if say I want to run Windows Media Player in the back ground while I run Sonar, i.e. I forget to close Windows Media Player and I lose Outputs 1 & 2 in my software, because Media Player is using them. So, I close both and they work in Sonar.
Value:
Costs a pretty penny, but right now it really is the best thing out there for the price
Sound:
Sound is transparent and clean, very low self noise. Excellent dynamic range and basically, what you hear with your ears will play back from your monitors the next morning.
Support:
Sorry, we're not speaking to each other at this time! ;-)
Overall:
I really appreciate this products sound and quality, the drivers have been stable for me (although I only use my pc for recording, no word processing, or games or other things that can make an Operating System slow and unstable by bogging down the system registry and RAM. You get what you pay for, and this definately give the sound that the price tag suggests. I recommend this product without reservation.
