I've been very satisfied with RME PCMCIA + Multiface (yes, a dinosaur, I

actually don't use it so much since I got a newer laptop that does not have

a PCMCIA slot). Also, the PCI version of RME (HDSP) with Multiface II has

been very good to me. In the past, I used M-Audio Delta 44 (PCI) and now

also own PreSonus AudioBox USB that I am somewhat satisfied with. The

latter two are not really pro... The PreSonus generates some faint

glitches, I presume influences by the GPU (it mostly happens when I move

windows around or other things that cause screen redraws. Probably some IRQ

issue or MoBo or something (it's a laptop...). Moreover, the PreSonus

AudioBox USB is a stereo card. I recently purchased PreSonus AudioBox VSL

44 (USB 4 I/O) but they don't work with Linux out of the box and I did not

make it to work so returned it. I've had luch with Edirol and PreSonus

firewire devices but it seems to be a moving target because in some

situation it was a pain to make FW interfaces work. Also, they did not

behave very well with Jack.
The company I work at has purchased recently RME MADI but we also got a Mac

so I am not sure if I will be able to test those on Linux, although I am

very inclined to do so.

Don't want to commit to a card and then find out it doesn't work!
