Since I use my laptop also for semi-professional music making and the onboard sound card but strong is weakening, recommended me a colleague this audio interface! And what can I say ?: I am absolutely thrilled! the USB cable is properly long, there are both RCA outputs as well as RCA inputs, separate headphone output with Lautsärkeregelung and then this sound! Insanity .... the best investment of mine for a long time!
