I've tried many, but for me, I only wish to buy once.... RME. Not the cheapest, but I have one now and it's so troublefree, I really have to think of the model number.

Save your money up for an RME card, you'll not regret it.

Kind Regards, Ken

been using the edirol ua-101 for YEARS with no problems. works best with the ASIO4ALL driver, down to ~4ms latency (in and out) at 192kHz. this is with an HP laptop, daily use.
