Actually the card arrived today, I thought sod it and opened it and to be perfectly honest, without comparing it to anything else, it sounds perfectly fine. And I am very fussy about sound quality......!

After what people were saying I was expecting it to sound like a bag of spanners.

I have a separate issue now which I will post about separately, all to do with Ableton.

Jarv, It's not that it's terrible, it's just that there's better out there for only a tiny bit more money.

For instance the ECHO audiofire4 - it uses the same converters as motu interfaces that cost 5 times more and sounds incredible, given that it costs less than $250. It also has two very usable mic pre's and a headphone out on the front, not to mention that it's 4 in 4 out with midi built in.

Then again, the NI audio 2 is only $99.

It's less than half the price in the UK of any of the other suggestions.

I'm just wanting to trial this Ableton thing and see where it goes. For 85 quid I can pretty much throw it in the bin if I can't sell it when I've finished with it!

I was thinking of sending it back, but when I read all the reviews no one mentioned it had any sound quality issues. Now I know for such a small price this thing is entry level, but I have to say it definitely does the job so far as I can tell.

Glad you're happy with it. That's what counts in the end of the day.

I don't have the means. I've just got it channeled through my Xone92 and into a couple of KRK RP8s (which you enthusiastically recommended I leave well alone too back in 2006!) and it sounds fine!

Ugh. Go for a hearing check. you're not doing your Xone92 any justice with the rest of your signal chain.

Then again, it's maybe better that that you didn't spend the extra on the Echo Audiofire given that you're listing through KRK's
