Dear Tobias, I would recommend RME too. They include very good documentation about the way their machines work in the manual, everything is manufactured at high quality and the interfaces I tested so far operate completely stable. (Recording sessions over weeks with 10-12 hours runtime per day, with no breakdown, drop-out, lag or anything funny at all.) I use the Fireface 800 on a regular basis. It might be interesting to have a look at their pci cards as well: http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_overview_pci_express.php Best Regards, Eric Busch Am 19.08.2014 um 14:32 schrieb Brian FG Katz <brian.katz@xxxxxxxx>: > For years we have relied on the RME series of audio interfaces.
