Works great with Sonar, Cubase, Reaper, Live and I've tested it on Win 7 РµСљвЂ 4 Pro and Win XP Pro (with my backup DAW and a laptop) and it has worked extremely well. I understand there are a couple USB interfaces on the market now with some really great drivers, including one from RME, but they can't match a a good PCI/PCIe driver.Р”Р„nyway, if you can accept the 'average' latency figures of the Saffire are going to be only slightly better than the best USB, then the Saffire Pro 40 is really an astonishing piece of gear. So for performance, I'd strongly avoid any USB devices, and think twice about DICE II. DICE-II firewire (which is one of the most common ones in the latest interfaces nowadays) is slightly better than USB. Even the RME doesn't go down to 32 sample latency, plus it has a small safety buffer.Р”В«est latency can be achieved by PCI or PCIe devices in general, of course, followed by RME and MOTU firewire. However, if you need ultra-low round-trip ASIO latency (32 samples in + 32 samples out to the DAW app), you won't get it with this device, or any other DICE-II device, or any USB device. You can monitor the inputs so if that's all you really need to do, this interface may be for you. It has a great mixer app, which allows zero-latency monitoring, so that may be all you need it to do.

On the other hand, the driver works very well in Win 7 РµСљвЂ 4 (using a TI-based firewire card in Win 7 legacy mode NO PROBLEM), and the performance is as good or better than just about any USB interface on the market.

But on my Lynx I can run all day at 32 sample latency on an i7 if I wanted to. As soon as I try to go below 128 sample latency on the Saffire Pro 40, I get glitch city. It does handle 256 sample latency without a hitch, and can stretch to 128 on my machine, but it cannot compete with the 32-sample latency of my Lynx. I can confirm that the Saffire Pro 40 does not get ultra-low latency. this unit, and most other current firewire devices except MOTU, RME and ECHO, all use the DICE II chipset, which is not known for ultra-low latency. HOWEVER, and this is a very important however.

I've got a few interfaces, including the Saffire Pro 40 - it's not my primary interface (I use a a Lynx), but the Saffire Pro 40 is the best bang for the buck I've spent in a long time. The audio would stop or on restart the device would be inactive. Only asking because Presonus was suggesting the same for the Firebox, but no one could get it to be stable.

So on your Saffire Pro 40, you had no issues using the legacy firewire setup? I noticed Focusrite did not have W7 drivers yet and required you to setup the legacy hack to get the device to work. The Saffire Pro 40 worked the first time - loaded the Saffire Mixcontrol and drivers, connected the unit and then started Sonar and set it up in the options.

I tried a couple of Presonus units before buying the Saffire Pro 40 and none of them supported Vista 64 bit at the time and I had problems getting them to work properly in Sonar (V7 at the time). I have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 working in Windows 7 64 bit.
