Apart from the Linux compatibility aspects, how do you
like the sound
of it? I just got a Presonus Monitor Station v2 to control my
monitors, and I'm still troubleshooting to make sure it's the Monitor
Station's fault, but I'm noticing some disappointing coloration of the
sound. Since this is the first piece of Presonus gear I've ever
bought, I'm wondering what others are experiencing with it.
Hi Brent,
when listening to 44.1 KHz, 16 bit wav (weather with you, crowded
house) by its headphones out, I noticed that at least the headphone amp
of the PreSonus isn't that good, as the one of my RME audio card.
At next I'll test...

...just playing fluid DSSI and hexter DSSI, 18 individual outputs at
the same time (8 anlog + 8 ADAT + 2 SPDIF). I don't have a reference at
the moment, as long as the sound quality shouldn't be really bad, I
can't notice sound issues, with the gear available at the moment. It
might be, that even the UB2442FX-Pro doesn't work. If so, I need to ask
a friend to use his Mackie, but the Mackie also isn't good.

Ralf
