If I may ask - how do you like your Tascam US-800? Right now they are on sale. The next cheapest are the Presonus, which seems a bit low in the value side as it's only 2 in/out with no SPDIF. I bought Reaper and it seemed that this Tascam is a great buy for 8 ins/outs with a SPDIF. Just hard to tell as to the audio quality and the drivers for Windows 7 64-bit. Some early complaints but people generally seem to be happy. Hard to get straight answers from actual owners though.
