Hi, don't have any knowledge on this model...

But I do have a Terratec phase 26 usb, 2 in 6 out.. Had it about 5 years now, good solid construction and reliable. I use it for playing out, not for studio work, so yeah terratec in my experience are OK..

i used to use the pci version. it is decent, but for the price maybe you should check out other firewire cards by the likes of tc electronics, presonus, m-audio, etc. the pres on these newer cards are better as well as firewire being more stable and affording more bandwidth. i use tc konnekt 8d now, and i think the pres are really good. beware though that konnekt 8d has a bit of a driver issue for both osx and windows.

What are Pres?

The RRP for the Terratc is 250€ but I've seen it for 200€
Not bad mm?

He's referring to the Microphone or line in Pre-Amplifier.

Cheap ones sound.... cheap.
