Noisy

tester2 28.04.2021

I can confirm it is noisy. High frequency noise is present. I measured with other sound card connected to same PC noises as 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 kHz frequency peaks about 25 dB higher than general noise floor. Maybe noises are from noisy PC USB supply but any way it is not good if supply noises pass to analog output.
Also Windows driver had some problems, I had get 2 times problem when connecting Gigaport eX to PC after PC was running, its volume goes to maximum possible, not following volume setting defined before disconnection or volume settings seen on Gigaport volume control panel.

Great price for a great product

Terriersound studio 12.07.2022

I run quite a DI-heavy show and I needed something which works for this. This thing has a small carry footprint, and its metal chassis helps for rough handling as you'd expect from any modicum of touring. The dual headphone arrangement is also a good option, as is their individual arrangement. The software based 'mixer' is useful, even if it doesn't have any hardware knobs. The individual outputs can get very loud, but once they go below a certain threshold, the noise floor becomes somewhat audible.

Obviously, the lack of an input port or two might be a drawback but I don't need them for what I do anyway

For what it is advertised to do, it's practically perfect, and the price is reasonable for what it offers.

Best value for money Interface

petedrums 11.09.2023

I've been using it for a couple of months with my ipad pro in a session for half playback and click send to front house and also another session as multiple out for DigiStix2 app for midi Digital drums multi out. It's a powerhouse! All the channels transmitting at 48Khz 16bit with no noticable latency on the output. Easy to use Class Compliant plug n play, easy assignable channels (depending on DAW) and very satisfied. Small package footprint and easy carriable in your pocket.
