I'm very happy with this

I've been using the Aurora 16 for a few months now. and I'm very happy with it. I use a Lynx AES16 card to hook this to my PC. The sound is perfectly clean. The cost/channel of AD and DA is really great compared to the Apogee AD16 and DA16. The software mixer is very powerful -- I am able to generate a number of different zero-latency cue mixes quite easily while recording, and you can simlarly mix anything you want on playback. You can do everything you need in software right from the PC. The support is very good, and they monitor their forums very regularly. I tried clocking with and without a Big Ben, and the Big Ben added nothing compared to using the Aurora's own internal clock with synchrolock. The jitter specs on this are VERY VERY low. Overall a great product. My only small complaints are the unit emits a small pop when synchrolock kicks in, so you have to wait for synchrolock to engage prior to turning on your monitors. Also, the unit runs very warm, so you have to keep a rack space above and below it open. But it's only 1u tall itself.

  BETTER THAN DIGIDESIGN 192

interface is better than the 192. comes already with 16 ins/outs. higher headroom than the 192 and apogee, very transperent sound no matter what you are recording. The only downfall is the leds in front doesnt give a proper level readout, but besides that you should always use your ears anyway. the best bang for the buck, im happy i got it instead of the 192.
