MOTU 828es - Excellent

muttmutt, 02.01.2018

I wanted a unit that would have robust connection capability (usb, thunderbolt, audio, midi, spdif, adat, word etc); low latency, I work inside the DAW with vst all the time; DSP and excellent pre's and convertors. I looked at Focusrite, Presonus, Steinberg and RME but it was the MOTU 828es that ticked all of my boxes. I can use USB2 now until I move to a Thunderbolt mobo although the roundtrip is so good with USB2 I see no need to move yet but this interface is future proof. The pre's are great I've not heard Di'd Electric Guitars, Acoustics and Bass sound so good before going direct in (interface this replaced had Burr Browns and is a quality unit so comparable). The mixer is comprehensive and as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. I'm using Windows 10 pro and the MOTU drivers are solid so far. The front and back panel are well laid out and the two headphone outputs are well driven and more than enough. A great unit. Lovely sound driving my monitors with plenty of power.

Cons- I'm annoyed that the DP 9 version is in German only and I did consider returning based on principle but that's the German distributers fault not Thomann's or MOTU's. Incidentally I did check with DV247 in the UK and that is the German version only as well from the same distributor.
