I have not seen that product before. It may be newer than when I was 
looking (though with firewire...).

I can't say for sure with this unit itself, but I do know the Qu16/24/32 
series products do work with linux. Not personal experience, but I have 
read of people using them with Linux. They need no drivers to work with 
OSx which is always a good sign (from 
http://www.allen-heath.com/ahproducts/ice-16d/#tab5) "ICE-16D is Core 
Audio compliant so there are no drivers required for Mac computers."

One should consider windows a non-compliant OS I guess...
