Having owned and had issues with Focusrite Saffire, MOTU 828 and PreSonus FirePod I had become to give up entirely on FireWire audio interfaces until my local DV recommended this model to me and I have never been happier. It's built like a rock and I am more than happy taking it out on the road with me. Can be used stand-alone. Front panel is an excellent break from the cluttered 828 with very large gain and master volume section. Simple and effective.
Connectivity

Two TOS-Link in's and two out's!
Breakout cable for BNC, MIDI, etc.etc.etc.

Two separate headphone outs. Awesome. MIDI in and out. Great. Eight amazing pre-amps, the best I've heard in this price range.
ADAT, Word clock, daisy chaining the list goes on.
Power
:
5
Line lump.... Damn....
Aside from that, phantom power can be switched on all the mic in's in groups of 4.

Great support.

I'm a touring front of house engineer. I use Logic Pro for some live reverbs and delays or sometimes to live record.
This unit is so unbelievably stable. Great sounding and perfect all around. Would buy again if destroyed or stolen ;)
Recommend to anyone who needs 8 mic-pre's or just wants a great audio interface.
