Software driver stability issues in Windows 10. This interface has great pre-amps, DAC, and features. The digital-analogue output converters are clear and detailed. Overall the sound is great. Unfortunately in a computer interface having great sound hardware doesn't count for much if the software isn't up to the task. The driver software is quirky and not straightforward. Even the appearance of the software looks cheap. I ended up uninstalling one part of the driver software which seemed unnecessary. I had occasional disconnections from the Windows 10 PC while using this unit. It also didn't have the processing power to really handle 96khz in a stable fashion. It handles 48khz playback, but then there's stability issues. The build quality is solid. I ended up buying another similarly priced interface to replace this one, and I'm glad I did.Read more Read less
