Looking for some feedback from user's using the US-428 with Athlon based DAW's with no problems. I'm looking to build a new athlon system based around the US-428 and was hoping to get some advice on motherboard selection ETC... If you can post your system spec's it would be a great help.
Thanks in Advance

No Problems at all. I'm about to purchase two RME mutifaces for more i/o and better converters. I track on analog gear and use nuendo for multitracking and native effects and the US-428 as a controller and a/d conveter.

I think the Us 428 is a good control surface and a great upgrade from mouse mixing... it works almost naturally with Nuendo.
As a soundcard it has 24 bit analog inputs; I have had slight latency issues with the inputs and I found the converters not to be great...
I have had know technical problems with the unit at all for the most part...
I recommend this unit as a control surface only and as a great leap from mixing from a mouse.. But after sometime you will outgrow the lack of motorized faders and the toyish frame....
I plan to upgrade my 428 to the yamaha aw4416
