Open box the board looked in great shape. Setup then pugged in and it came on but the inputs did not work.
Then I noticed the front of the board there were screws missing. So I took pics and looked in box for missing screws found none. Counted12 screws missing from front of unit. The system did not work so i called for a return. Sorry did not like having to do this. I wished the seller would have checked this out before selling this.
the cost in shipping could have been saved.

Allows multiple applications to use drivers simultaneously!
Most consoles and multi-channel sound interfaces do not specify how you can use all of those channels. Often times you can only usefully access them via ASIO. Fortunately, the X32's XUF card has WDM drivers that allow you to record and playback 8 channels in stereo pairs. That is, your computer sees 4 separate playback sound cards and 4 separate recording sound cards. This enables you to route from application to application just like you would if it were its own pair of inputs and outputs. I do a lot of internet radio work, and this makes a complicated studio setup with DJ software, Skype/Google Hangout, and live remotes all easy to do. (I'm using the matrix routing for mix-minus.)
The driver has a control panel which enables you to set both WDM and ASIO latency independently.
I will say that the drivers aren't the most stable. They overwrote some file used by my webcam, so my webcam no longer works. They have randomly stopped working on two occasions. It's also a requirement to physically unplug and replug the XUF card's USB cable if you reboot the console without rebooting the computer.
Audio quality from the X32 is acceptable, but I certainly wouldn't call it great. Going from straight digital audio over USB to some monitor speakers, you can hear that the quality is okay but not what I had hoped for. As everyone says, the input stage isn't bad. The digital processing is also good. It's the analog outputs that could use some work.
You do get *more* than you pay for with this console though. The functionality is great, and the built-in effects are completely usable. I would have liked to see some XLR/TRS combo jacks on the back since I use so many keyboards, but I'm sure this would have been expensive. Maybe I'll mod my console myself... it's very easy to take apart and maintain.
