What's your budget? I can suggest you some accordingly..

350€ but don't suggest the m-audio audiophile firewire cause I have it and it doesn't work... Maybe it will on my laptop once it arrives but I've tried to make it work on 2 different desktops and it keeps on disconnecting. So that makes me a bit suspicious about firewire soundcards. Some said that could be the problem & swear by usb 2.

Does anyone know for sure if the EMU 1616 works with a Macbook pro (Intel)? Would be nice to know. The EMU site was a bit blurry about the issue...

Thanks man. I'll wait for my laptop to arrive, then I'll test the audiophile firewire on that and if it doesn't work, I'll see what I can buy.

M-Audio Audiophile and Delta series it's just a good multimedia sound cards... Best thing for begining. If you have some more money than buy Tascam audiocards. And if you seriously want good sound then buy Motu or RME + Dynaudio monitors. Chears! |

I wouldn't agree with you on that... I have owned a M-Audio delta/66 PCI card and it had good converters and a loud output on balanced jacks. And that sounded A LOT better than the M-Audio firewire410 I use with a laptop these days.
As for PCI, I now have an RME... but that's another story... |

I feel that the most killer card for the money and multiple purposes now is MOTU (Mark of the unicorn) Ultralite...

Any idea how good the pre amps on the Ultralite are? I've read that the converters are pretty decent but didn't really manage to find info on the pre amps..
How good is the Ultralite compared to the TC Konnekt & the Echo Audiofire 8?

Anybody testing new fireware audio interface TC Electronic Konnekt 24D?? Link for info > http://www.tcelectronic.com/Konnekt24D .TC speaks of that that in him are used TOP quality converters such as TC finalizer and System 6000 and this interface have built DSP effect (compresor, eq and reverb) For this price this unbelievably!!! Your opinions? |

I've been researching the Konnekt 24D and some people have been reporting driver instability issues..
Though on paper it looks like a solid interface, TC is not well known for their driver updates, some people with the powercore firewire have been waiting more than a year for some stable drivers..
I would suggest waiting a little longer until more people have tried it out & given their reviews..

The Fireface definately has better A/D D/A converters than the Ultralite..I can't say about the preamps guess they're both the same..
It all depends on what exactly you're going to be using the card for, if you're not planning on buying any hardware synths in the near future or recording a live band then you don't really need to buy such an expensive interface..
These interfaces are good though if you plan on adding a high end preamp/converter somewhere down the line..
As for the Multiface vs the Fireface, if you don't need preamps then go for the multiface, though with a pcmcia card for the laptop it ends up costing as much as the fireface 400 so might as well get that..
I just ordered a RME Fireface 400, i'll write my review here once i've tested it..
