Nope - still licking the screen when I pull up the Aardvark webpage for the Q10...
I am running the lower-end Direct Pro 24/96 - about half the grunt of the Q10 - 4in's and outs as opposed to 8.
The downsides of the Aardvark story are -
=> Slow driver development, but what they have has always done the advertised job for me or it has been fixed very quickly.
=> They do not have a true WDM driver architecture, rather they use their own proprietary modifications to the schema which they call A|WDM. In versions of Sonar prior to v3.xx, they recommended setting the driver mode as MME which would then address the A|WDM driver architecture. Using this, I could get my latency into the sub 5msec range.
=> They seem to now be moving towards the ASIO standard which is recommended for use in Sonar 3.xx. Again, it gives me about 3msec latency.
=> The A/D converters and onboard pre-amps are always well reviewed and to this point seem to have served me well -- it is my skills which need improving not their widgets...
Ciao,
